    Fun ski only mountain
    We skied here 2 days, once during a snow storm and then the next day in beautiful sunshine. The runs were well groomed and the lodge for lunch was large and well staffed. Lift lines were a little long, but moved along. We skied between Snowbird and Alta and had a great time. Easy to do if you are a blue/intermediate skier.

    Flowery trail up to a hidden lake
    The trail to Secret Lake – officially misspelled Cecret Lake – is beautiful and worth hiking. The trail is not very demanding nor very long as it winds its way through flowery meadows, up to a hidden lake at ± 3.000 m / 9,850 ft high.
    Getting to the trailhead takes a detour through Little Cottonwood Canyon from Salt Lake City, when driving south.
    The drive through the canyon was already nice, passing Snowbird and then reaching Alta, where we could park our car. At this time of day there were no problems parking, plenty of space.
    The trailhead was close by the village.
    We traveled August 20187

    Good Corn Day
    Folks and experience at Powderbird is excellent. Easy to get to (from Little Cottonwood), great knowledgeable guides. You have to be ready for cancels and re-schedules, because you are so dependent upon the weather. We originally scheduled for February, but cancelled and re-booked into March. On the day we went, not much powder but nice corn. The terrain is great, and as I said, the guide are excellent. They make it easy. Your day will end early (around 2:00). When you are done, you come back to great food.

    Best Childcare Around!
    Our kids love the Alta Children’s Center! The teachers are patient, kind, and caring. The activities are fun and educational, and the food is healthy! It is often hard to get our kids to leave at the end of the day! I would recommend again and again.

    Spa
    Went here with my daughter for a special spa day. Both got 2 hour massages. My massage with Michael (female) was terrible. I am usually too nice to complain but after 30 min in I started questioning what she was doing. I was there for a Swedish massage and she was using a pressure point technique with barely even any pressure. I had to ask her three times to stop what she as doing and give me a Swedish style massage. She asked if I wanted my feet massaged and I said yes did she barely massaged them (I have manicured feet no calluses) I think she does not like feet. I added on hot oil scalp treatment and she put it on with the lightest touch to the point it was annoying. At one point I thought she fell asleep when she was massaging my neck. She missed one of my legs when she turned me over to face up. I was so tired of complaining and directing her that I just let that one go. Only reason I gave three stars is because my daughter had a fabulous massage with Chandler (female). Also the manager and staff were all great.
