Since Alta is so close to Salt Lake City (only 30 minutes from downtown), we see quite a few local families skiing together on Thanksgiving Day in Alta, and it just warms our hearts! What would make Thanksgiving even better? Being able to not worry about the meal at all. Come on up to Alta, and make it a new family tradition!
The first day was awesome! You could ski your favorite Alta classics (Highboy, Gunsight, Thirds, Ballroom, West Rustler), and get out on the groomers to show off your early season speed. After day one on the slopes, the Goldminer’s Daughter Lodge was there with pizza and Alta Ale to fuel you up before heading to the Peruvian for an apres cocktail with friends.

Alta snow forecasting…It’s 2 parts science, 7 parts luck, 18 parts odes to ULLR and 73 parts thinking/dreaming/philosophizing about snow. It’s almost winter!
The time has come once again to work on your El Nino vs. La Nina trivia, and your ability to know which storms are going to require you to make that last minute lodging reservation and GET TO ALTA!
The first snow has fallen in Alta, and winter jackets, boots, and layers are starting to show up again in Little Cottonwood Canyon. We have snow on our minds here in Alta, Utah!

This list should get you through a week of lunch breaks and awkward dentist office waits. Enjoy, and we hope you get to visit Alta soon!

The weather couldn’t have been better for the Alta in April spring festival this year!
We had snow and sun, après ski parties and a swanky fundraising gala. We dressed in costumes and played on-mountain games with friends, and we skied powder like it was January. There was live music, free demo skis, and great deals on Alta lodging. The kids had fun craft events, a snowman building contest, an Easter egg hunt and at many Alta lodges, KIDS STAY FREE!
In case you missed it this year, don’t make the same mistake again!
