Alta is up there in the 'legendary' category among the most avid skiers, known for its extremely challenging terrain, super steeps, fantastic tree skiing and cliff hucking. Not only does it boast an abundance of off-piste powder opportunities, it has incredible scenery to match (just don't get too distracted up there!). Alta SkiingĪlta Ski Area could possibly be one of the best places you've ever skied. Part of the fun of skiing Alta is watching everyone else enjoy it too – incredible skiers flock to the mountain and they can be inspiring to watch as they rip up the powder.Īlta feels like a real ski community where everyone is welcome and locals will happily show you their favourite line. One of the most loved developments to Alta has been the opening of several gates to Snowbird and a joint lift ticket allowing you to ski both mountains in one day. It’s definitely worthwhile if you’re here for more than a few days. The legendary High Rustler is a steep shot straight down to the base area while the Supreme lift and Catherine’s area have endless lines in trees – you’ll keep finding powder stashes here all day. Alta has some of the gnarliest inbounds runs in North America, especially the Baldy Chutes and East Castle.

A series of new and old lifts service terrain that is varied – there’s something for everyone here - but the mountain does favour the more advanced skier who will be able to find a challenging run, every run. That’s because Alta is an incredible mountain. Repeat. With over 80 years of operations, Alta knows a thing or two about the perfect ski holiday. Alta is about as down-to-earth as you can get in the way of a ski resort, where people come to ski and that’s about it. If you’re after luxury, five-star amenities and endless off-snow activities then you will want to go somewhere else. Situated at the top of Little Cottonwood Canyon, east of Salt Lake City, the resort is one of the least developed among those on Scout, but that is what makes it so special. Sometimes you wish you could bottle something and preserve it forever in its current state.
If you do want to ski Snowbird you can access it via gates or on the public bus.
