Welcome to Alta, an independent ski area and family-owned since 1938. Alta is proud to be a ski area and not a ski resort. Nestled at the top of Little Cottonwood Canyon deep in the Wasatch mountains, Alta is known around the globe for its powder skiing. With an annual snowfall average of 540” powder days are a way of life here. It’s a magnetic way of life that draws the same employees and guests back to Alta’s community each winter. There are several ski in and ski out restaurants on the mountain. Alta and Snowbird have teamed up to allow skiing at both mountains when purchasing just one ticket. At Alta, a variety of terrain and snow conditions provide skiing opportunities for every level of skier, including beginners. There is no shortage of lodging and dining at Alta. With regard to lodging, you can stay at one of their many hotels as well as rent a condo at one of 11 condo complexes.
