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.

Alta is the cream of the crop in terms of the many world class ski resorts in Utah. Its storied history can be felt while youre there, and the terrain is unmatched. Incredible experience overall!

One of my favorite mountains in the USA. Skiers only. Challenging runs with old school lodges. Great variety of runs, everything from bowls, tree runs, steeps, groomers. Even on a powder day, it wasnt crazy crowded

Alta is great when youre an intermediate local skier. Not a ton of the amentities at big ski resorts but thats not an issue if youre just there for the love of the sport.

Alta is such a great place if you are looking for some fun steep and powder filled terrain! My first experience at Alta was knee deep powder, light fluffy, and a day filled with uncontrollable laughter!

Good resort. Skiing only. Pizza and Alta bombs are great. The burgers are mediocre. Keep an eye out for the porcupines in the trees.
