Annual Guys Trip

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Feb 19, 2022via mobile
This was my 12th or 13th stay at the Rustler, it is consistently great, you cannot beat the ease of access from SLC airport (via the Alta Shuttle), great rooms, bar, dinner and last but not least, outdoor pool & hot tub. Having breakfast & dinner included makes it a hassle free, relaxing stay. Great in house ski shop as well.

      The Rustler is a close as you can get to a home on the slopes on the best Skiers Mtn in the world - Alta but even better because you don’t have to cook or clean! The staff are across the board incredibly kind and the service is amazing. It’s like a big family and they welcome you in such that you feel part of this family. The food is amazing - I think I gained at least five pounds despite skiing all day every day. You just can’t help yourself from eating a lot because the food is that delicious. The spa, pool and all public spaces were extremely clean and comfortable. The lounge is the best place to hang out apres ski and relax with a drink by the fire and watch the incredible sunsets and views of the mountains. The rooms were very nicely appointed, the bed and linens were so comfortable! The bathrooms super clean with high end finishes. I have been to the Rustler several times over the past 40 years and I am so happy to say that it hasn’t changed a bit except the accommodations and the food have just gotten better. Can’t wait to go back!

      Room tip: Take the Alta shuttle from the airport. Excellent service! Make dinner reservations in advance for your first two nights.

      Everything about my stay at the Rustler was exceptional! I especially enjoyed ending each ski day in the heated pool. The views of the Eagle’s Nest terrain across the way allowed for fun stories of the day and planning lines for days to come!!

      I have now stayed at the Rustler for 13 years and no matter how high I set my expectation bar, the Rustler also surpasses the forecast. The lodge itself is lovely -- beautiful setting, terrific rooms and facilities, and exceptional staff. The food is excellent. The bar is inviting and has great views with very friendly and helpful bar staff. The managers, Kate and Tom, are simply wonderful and make every effort to make your stay extraordinary. No detail is overlooked. And they always throw a fun Super Bowl party (this year cleverly adjusted for COVID). The ski shop staff are incredible. The patched my boots to get me on the slopes in 5 minutes and did a brilliant overnight permanent fix. The pool and hot tub are perfectly situated with views of Eagle's Nest and Alf's High Rustler,as well as the setting sun.

      Thank you to Kate and Tom, and to the entire team, for making our Snow Weasels week another huge success!
