Solitude's BackTracks program is operated by the resort, but don't expect to ride the lifts all day. You'll take the Summit chair to the top where you'll head out the gate. "We're more about the ski touring," says lead guide Logan Cookler. But BackTracks is ideal for first-time backcountry skiers. "A lot of guests have never had skins on before," Cookler says. Once your guide sets you up on their Black Diamond touring skis with alpine-touring bindings and skins, you can expect to ski 5,000–6,000 vertical feet on three or four big runs.
