The Fraser River Valley region features thirteen different mountain peaks that soar 12,000 feet above the valley floor, and is filled with lakes, streams, and wildlife. Skiers at SolVista can enjoy the sport at all levels, and in varied terrain. Snowboarding, cross-country snowshoeing, sleigh rides, and ice-skating is available on the uncrowded slopes.
There is a school where Harold Harb and his co-instructors give interesting, if unconventional, lessons in skiing.

LOCAL ATTRACTIONS |

Nearby Attractions: The Rocky Mountain National Park in Fraser Valley offers great hiking, as well as the Fraser River Valley with thousands of acres of the Arapahoe National Forest. The Marina at Grand Lake offers great summer fun with kayaking, fishing, taking out a pedal boat, or catching a ride on a pontoon.
For a touch of history there is the ‘fishing cabin’ used by President Dwight Eisenhower, in the vicinity, and of course the towns of Granby, and Denver, where visitors can enjoy after dark entertainment, or sightseeing.

| Aprés-Ski: Nearby Granby serves as an option for apres-ski, if you find it a bit thin at the resort, or if you really want to hit the highspots, take a 78-mile drive to Denver where you can pull out all the stops.
