Alta Ski Resort is known across the region for its deep powder and sensational mountain views. This premier ski resort is conveniently located just 45 minutes from the Salt Lake City International Airport. Its location at the top of the Little Cottonwood Canyon in the Wasatch Mountains provides skiers with amazing mountain views that stretch for miles on a clear day. The arid climate of the location also keeps most of the 500 or more inches of snow received each year rather dry and powdery, providing skiers with excellent slope conditions on most days.
Alta Ski Resort is a large resort, spanning over 2,200 acres. Across this vast, mountainous terrain, you will find a winter wonderland with 116 runs of varying degrees of difficulty. There are a variety of runs suited for all ability levels, including 25 percent rated for beginner, 40 percent rated for intermediate, and 35 percent rated for advanced or expert skiers. The resort features seven chair lifts, as well as three surface tows, and one moving conveyor, adding to your convenience on the slopes.
