Where do ski resort boundaries end? Brighton struggles to draw the map

Solitude officials include controversial parking lot parcel in a map they submitted to planners.

(Bethany Baker | The Salt Lake Tribune) Cars drive past a sign, seen here along South Guardsman Pass Road near Brighton on Tuesday, July 15, 2025, that opposes the requested 593-space parking lot for Solitude Mountain Resort that would be in an aspen grove across SR-190 from the ski area's main village. The lot would require steep retaining walls and the removal of hundreds of trees, could also damage Salt Lake City's watershed, further snarl traffic in the canyon and be a visual blight.
