Skiied here for a week at end of March and ended up skiing IN the best powder we have ever experienced. Everything about this resort is lovely - no queues, lovely and friendly staff everywhere, no snowboarders (!!!!) and dreamy white stuff. This is our favourite ski destination in the world. We loved the hot chocolates at Alf's Restaurant, and... more

The snow is great--I'll leave it at that as such information is readily available. A tip that I wished I'd known regards the food and lockers... Alta's food is insanely expensive, even by ski resorts standards (the food at Snowbird and Solitude nearby is cheaper, for example). In addition, Alta's food selection is quite limited and it's not particularly good.... more

The first and most famous thing about Alta at Salt Lake City is that they do not allow Snowboarders, it's a ski only resort and marketed as a "family destination". This is what drew us to it at first as skiers and from that perspective it's great. Alta is also marketed as having the "worlds best snow" and they are... more

First let me stress my ill experience going here was not the fault of the establishment. Before posting my review I read the guidelines for reviews and other opinions of guests. I noted that one said "Not For Families". Part of the purpose of Tripadvisor is to help future guests pick a location that is suitable for their situation and... more

I've been skiing since the 60's, and I've been to all the major North American resorts plus a few of Europe's best. Simply put, Alta is best there is for skiers who want the most and the best snow, and for skiers who want a great variety of serious terrain. I'm okay with snowboarders elsewhere, but whenever I come back... more

The best place to ski. I've been all over Colorado, to Whistler, east coast, and Alta is by far the best ski experience I've ever had. We went with two families and the kids loved it too. We stayed at Goldminer's Daughter and the kids loved being able to roam around on their own (four kids aged 10 and up),... more

Alta is awesome, not only for the snow, but for the "feel" of it. Number one thing...NO SNOWBOARDERS!!! So nice not to have to hear the grinding sound of some snowplower shaving off all the nice new snow or raping the moguls with their boards, or flying recklessly down the hill verging on being out of control. I never felt... more

Alta is a skiiers paradise. Especially for an intermediate skiier like myself who enjoys wide open runs and "the best snow on earth". I've skiied about 75% of the resorts in Utah. Each has a unique personality. If you are looking for a hill with great no-frills terrain and ammenities, then this is it. The drive up the canyon is... more

What a great place to go ski-ing. Plenty of runs to chosse from including steeps, groomed and plenty of of blue and green runs to everydody happy. Will be going back more
