Guardsman Pass is closed in winter, so plan to use the canyon road.
UTA Ski Bus Route 972 runs from Salt Lake Valley park-and-ride lots up to Solitude and Brighton. It is free with an Ikon Pass or a Solitude season pass, and fares apply otherwise. Check UTA for the current schedule. The bus stops at the Moonbeam base area, where a resort shuttle runs to the Village.
We list trusted airport and canyon shuttles on our Transportation page. Book ahead for winter weekends. Uber and Lyft drivers are scarce in the canyon, so line up your ride back down before you head up.
