The Moonbeam Day Lodge, is a facility designed specifically to address the needs of its day visitors. It features a wonderful lounging area with a large fireplace, new restaurants, bar, locker facilities, and rental shop. Along with the new buildings, Solitude has replaced several of its more outdated lifts with some fantastic new quads that get more visitors up the mountain more efficiently.
