We've skied Sol Vista three times in the last two years. Our kids are now 10 and 8 and it was the perfect place for them to learn to ski and build their confidence. The ski school had great instructors that our kids really connected with. It is not the impersonal mad house we experienced at larger Colorado ski areas.... More

Now that was a bunch of bull****. Not a Nicklaus design. Don be fooled. One hole was a Nicklaus design. Really, they actually advertise that it is a Nicklaus design. Wow, drove two hours for that. More

I've always wanted to try skiing and was intimidated at age 57 to trying the sport. After much research, I opted for Sol Vista, now Granby Ranch. It was a perfect choice. It is small and the advanced skiers and snowboarders have their runs, and the beginners have easier runs. The pricing was good and we had a cool and... More

Sol Vista is a great place. The resort is small so when you go with a group, it would be very hard to lose any members of the group. The group we went with had skiiers/snowboarders in a variety of levels . . . beginners to expert. There was plenty to keep everyone happy! It is not crowded, the food... More

We just returned from a ski trip to Granby Ranch. We traveled with our family (teenage daughters) and family friends, who have kids ranging from 10-20. Though the ski conditions weren't great due to the warm weather and lack of much snow this year, we had a fabulous time. This resort is a great value and is MUCH cheaper than... More

No lift lines, wide, open runs of all ability, and great condos that are truly ski-in and ski-out with you own private lift to get back to the slopes made this the easiest and most fun ski trip for us to introduce the kids too. Ski school was great! My son got a private snowboarding lesson because he was the... More

Easy greens and blues, enjoyed skiing in and around trees, fun and small place to take the kids, perfect for joyride skiers. Wish there was more seating on the outdoor deck. More

SolVista Basin is a great Colorado resort. The family atmosphere and friendly staff make it a great day for skiing or boarding. I decided to visit SolVista after purchasing 50% off lift tickets from skiforfree. I brought a couple friends and we all had a great day. I will definitely go back to SolVista and I recommend skiforfree next time... More

We've been coming to Sol Vista for 8 years now - both of our kids learned to ski here at age 3. It is 1 base, so next to impossible for kids to get lost. Mostly green & blue runs, which again is perfect for family skiing. Also has several fun black runs, with a few of them being pretty... More
