The Alta ski resort, 12 miles away from Park City, Utah, is one of the last and best great refuges of traditional downhill skiing in the United States. "Skiing Magazine" regularly awards Alta with its highest ratings and accolades, and with good reason: Alta has more than 2,000 acres of skiable terrain (and ski-only; snowboarders are forbidden, even in 2009). There are more than 116 groomed, official runs, plus countless additional acres of powder-filled, practically untouched backcountry for advanced skiers. Everyone, from the nervous first-timer to the Olympic athlete, will find something to love about skiing at Alta. The price of tickets also includes admission to the other 3 big ski resorts in the area: Brighton, Snowbird, and Solitude.
