Ski Solitude Mountain Resort with Chevy

If there has ever been an ultimate time to shop Chevy, now would be it! Fall is in full swing, but when you live in Utah you know that can be short-lived. Here are Larry H. Miller Chevrolet in Murray we think it’s better to be prepared for winter than to be surprised by it.



If you are thinking that it is about time to get a new vehicle to handle the snow, we couldn’t agree more. The specials are great, and the 2017 models are top-of-the-line. But when you purchase one of these fancy new vehicles you will also get two free passes to ski at Solitude Mountain Resort.

Whether you’re a novice ski bunny or an Olympic pro, Solitude has just about everything you need to make winter a season to look forward to. With a tagline like “Winter, done right,” there are some pretty lofty expectations set.

Here’s what you can do, where you can stay, and even what you can eat while on the slopes at Solitude:

WHAT TO DO?
Aside from the obvious, there is still lots to do to get your winter on. For skiers, Solitude offers 77 runs varying in difficulty. With everything from beginner to double black diamonds runs, there is no skill level that won’t be tested here. For the more faint-of-heart, there is also snowshoeing offered through the Nordic Center with well over ten kilometers of trails you can explore. No need to fear about getting lost; the trails are very well-marked.

WHERE TO STAY?
With as many accommodation options as there are ski runs, it can be awfully tempting to take advantage of the pass you get with your new Chevy and make a weekend getaway out of it. Take advantage of their great packages, like the spa package. What could be better than a morning on the slopes and an afternoon being pampered? Nothing, that’s what.

WHERE TO EAT?
Eating is of great importance, especially after a long day hitting the slopes. If there is one thing that can ruin even the most perfect day at Solitude, it’s a hangry ski buddy. Solitude offers a variety of rich dining options, all based on the philosophy that eating meals made from scratch with fresh ingredients is just better for you. But if you are looking for a memorable dining experience, make your way along the lantern-lit path through the snowy winter woods to The Yurt. Here you will be treated to a four-course meal in a beautiful Mongolian Yurt. Truly magical.




Can you believe all this is possible up Cottonwood Canyon? And so much more could be yours when you come in and purchase a new 2017 Chevy model. We took one of our Traverse models up to just see how it would look, and we are convinced that there is nothing better than a Chevy with a pair of skis strapped to the top of it. We think those should be your skis on your new Chevy. Think about it.

5 Fall Car Maintenance Tips


The fall season is officially here! As glad you might be to finally break out your sweaters, boots and hats, colder weather can cause havoc to your vehicle. No matter how new or old your vehicle is, cold weather can have an impact on how it performs as well as your safety on the roads. There are some things you can do to prepare your vehicle, however. Here are five DYI fall car maintenance tips:


  • Replace your wiper blades- With the rain, snow and salt that will inevitably cover your windshield in Utah, it's important to keep your wiper blades in good shape to keep you safe. 
  • Check battery terminals and lights- Cold weather has a tendency to amplify battery and electrical issues. Check your battery for corrosion or loose cables so you don't end up having to call a friend for a jump. Battery terminals can be easily cleaned with a few inexpensive tools. We can also help you check your battery, and recommend needed maintenance. 
  • Replace air filter- These should generally be replaced twice each year anyway. If you don't know where your air filter is, our team can assist you
  • Top off fluids- You never know how nice wiper fluid is until you don't have any, and the morning commute has streaked your windshield with salt from the snow plows. Checking your antifreeze as well as your brake fluid are also must-do's before winter. 
  • Check your tires- This includes your spare! Check your tire pressure regularly as fluctuating temperatures can affect this. You also want to be sure that your tread is at the appropriate level to keep you safer on slippery roads. Balding tires are a safety hazard, especially in the winter months. As always, our team can help you identify any needed tire replacements or adjustments. 
The absolute best thing you can do to prepare your vehicle for fall and winter is to bring it in and have the Larry H. Miller Chevrolet Murray team look it over and provide you with recommended work or simple adjustments. You can even schedule your appointment online for easy, convenient service. Be safe out there, and enjoy the season!
