Anyone that has been to Solitude and Brighton or Snowbird and Alta has seen the Big Cottonwood 7-Eleven.  It holds a sacred place in the hearts of many skiers and snowboarders as the begninng and end of one’s day on the slopes.

In the September 2008 edition of Powder Magazine a great write-up was done on the Big Cottonwood 7-Eleven.  I’m going to share what was dug up with you in case you missed picking that month’s edition up (at 7-Eleven).  But one thing at a time.  Feel free to share your love of the place in the comments.

1.    According to long-standing legend, Utah’s Big Cottonwood Canyon franchise – less than a half hour drive from Solitude and Brighton or Snowbird and Alta- is the busiest 7-Eleven in the world.  They even sell magnets saying, “I survived the world’s busiest 7-Eleven.”

I’ve been to that 7-Eleven probably more times than all other 7-Elevens I’ve ever visited combined and I’ve never lived in Utah! They should set-up lawn chairs for people watching in the lot.
