Alta Ski Area - Community Reviews & Ratings

If youre a good skier and like having a good time, Alta is for you. Best Après in the Wasatch, cheap beer, great energy, fun people!

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

One of the greatest resorts in the West! Amazing snow and terrain options available from beginner to extreme! Completely amazing!

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.

Excellent snow, good lifts, no conflicts with snow conditions caused by snowboards, aprex ski not so much.

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.

Alta was my favorite resort in Utah. It was nice that it was skier only. The conditions were much better than at some of the surrounding resorts. I loved how there weren't just designated groomed runs but that there was also so much open skiable terrain in between.

Alta has great rolling hills terrain for skiers. The building are all very old and look original. Probably needs a face-lift. I usually go early season and there aren't many lines. For apres ski you need to go down to SLC. Not a lot of accommodation choices nearby, most people stay in SLC and take the shuttle up or drive. Best thing about Alta is it's skiers only. Not snowboarders to run into you.

Alta has some of the best snow in the world and is a really great skier-only mountain. Lots of runs with some good tree options make for peaceful quiet fast days! And you have the option of connecting to snowbird as well.

Alta used to be an inexpensive serious skier mountain. It also used to be cheap. Now, the resort has gone mainstream, and the prices reflect that. Regular lift tickets are nearly $200, yet amenities have not kept up with the prices. This is still a fun place to ski, but be prepared for typical sky high prices. I recommend only a day or two here, as there is nothing else to do but ski. If you want fine dining or other winter activities, try stating at the bigger Utah resorts.

Excellent experience for skiers of all abilities and a wide variety of diverse terrain, especially when paired with Snowbird! I love ripping down the gully runs with my kids!
