Alta Ski RESORT PACKAGES
Destination: Utah

Alta is the oldest resort in Utah operating, since 1938. Oldtimer “Altaholics” love the unpretentious vibe, where people focus on skiing and sharing their stories in one of the traditional lodge pubs over a frosty brew.

About the resort
Alta Ski
The resort is also one of Utah’s skiing only resorts (snowboarders not permitted), in addition to Deer Valley. Alta is known for its unique geographical location at the back of Little Cottonwood Canyon that traps snowstorms until they dry up, boasting the deepest annual average of snowfall in Utah. Did we mention, Alta is a great mountain for hike-to terrain and offering boundary gates to access the backcountry?!?
