I'd say that is a pretty good analogy. There are certainly some delicious 
desserts at Solitude, but IMO, you get more diversity of terrain and more 
terrain with more challenge in LCC. Not that BCC doesn't have great 
challenging terrain...it just isn't as abundant and obvious (and as much 
vert) as Alta and Snowbird. I get bored at Solitude after a few days. Long 
traverse out of Honeycomb. It's good for a few runs, but it take a while 
to get up and back and the vert isn't as great. Before ya know it, you are 
on the traverse. IMO Alta is better than Solitude though I do enjoy 
Solitude as a nice break.

If Solitude was better, then Marc1 and Marc2 would have passes there, and 
they don't.
