resort details

Alta Ski Area is located 25 miles southeast of Salt Lake City at the top of Little Cottonwood Canyon, State Highway 210, 33 miles and approximately 45 minutes from the Salt Lake City International Airport. Utah Transit Authority (UTA) operates a ski bus route from many locations throughout the Salt Lake Valley right to the base of Alta's lifts. Because of convenient schedule times, skiers can enjoy a full day, morning or afternoon half-day of skiing. Alta also offers Cat Skiing in Grizzly Gulch. And don't forget about the Beginner Pass that is good for the Albion, Sunnyside & Cecret lifts. All this and anyone can ski for free after 3:00 p.m on the Sunnyside lift!

If that's not enough, Snowbird and Alta, ranked among the top resorts in the country six years running by SKIING Magazine, offer a combined ticket to ski both mountains' 4700 acres of light, dry powder snow. Being recognized in the ski industry as #1 for value is also an extreme honor for Alta. The area is dedicated to providing a quality skiing experience for a reasonable price- a philosophy that has been paramount since Alta's founding in 1938.
