Alta Ski Resort
If you are a purist when it comes to skiing, you will appreciate that Alta Ski Resort is one of the few resorts that don’t allow snowboarding.
This resort is also a local favorite due to the many long and fabulous runs, high speed lifts, and great scenery. With low-cost lift tickets and easy traveling distance to Salt Lake City, makes Alta Ski Resort one of Utah’s premier locations.
It is only 25 miles southeast from Salt Lake City Center at the top of Little Cottonwood Canyon. And if you are not a local, arriving at Salt Lake International Airport, you only need to travel about 45 minutes to your awesome, awaiting skiing experience.
Skiers of all levels can appreciate the different types of terrain and fabulous snow conditions. Most advanced skiers like this resort because of the difficult runs and bowls, but there is skiing at Alta Ski Resort even for beginners.
There are also several restaurant and shopping options if you are tired, cold, and hungry. Just to name a few, there are Alf’ Restaurant, Collin’s Grill, Watson Shelter, Baldy Brews, Alta Ski Shop, Albion Grill, and Alta Java.
If you don’t have skis of your own, or want to travel light, especially with all of the airline restrictions, Alta has their own rental shop. This creates a great option for those who can’t afford skis of their own, or just want added convenience.
Alta Ski Resort also offers convenient ski-in/ski-out closeness to their five different lodges. Depending on your mood, you can enjoy a more rustic encounter at the Snowpine Lodge. Or if you are feeling more like an elegant dwelling, you can stay in the Rustler Lodge.
