Snow was in the best shape of the 3 Utah resorts we visited in January. Great variety of slopes. Easy access to the slopes via the Ikon pass. Great patio for wrapping up the ski day. Fabulous hot chocolate on the hill! Easy parking.

It has a been quite a few years since I have been at Alta and forgot what a great mountain it is. The skiing was excellent even after 5 days without new snow. The grooming was better than I expected as well. The best part is the moguls were made by skiers only and not all chopped up like it was at neighbouring Snowbird. Shows you what allowing only skiers does for this great mountain

This is the benchmark in the us. I compare all ski experiences to Alta. It lived up to the hype. I enjoy the skier only environment. We just use the mountain differently. Being able to cut in and out of snowbird is nice but everything you need is at alta

Alta is famous and lots of people love it. Old school through and through. Been skiing there since I was born in Utah. No snowboarding!

My go to resort in Utah. I love the snow quality. Too bad that Utah is a dry state, no alcohol. But the skiing is fabulous, the powder is very light and the lift tickets are affordable.

Alta is a beautiful skiers only resort located above Snowbird. Its snow quality is the best Ive ever skied on. There is something for everyone however it does lean on the more advanced side with lots of traverses and hikes to go to the best powder. The runs in the trees are also beautiful with lots of birds and even the rare porcupine sighting. The community is very down the earth and the whole mountain feels like a family.

Love Alta! Great snow, great vibe, no snowboarders. Crowded in the canyon and hard to park on weekends. Best on weekdays. Incredible scenery.
