Alta Ski Area Tours

Photo by Katie Allen
Alta Mountain is most famous for one quirk: Only skiers areallowed on its slopes. What you sacrifice in Alta snowboarding, however, youmore than gain in local atmosphere. 

This Utah gem is among the mostscenic places in the area to book ski vacation packages, and its picture-worthyweather and powder-light snow make the 2,200 acres of skiable terrainan absolute pleasure. 

What’s more, Alta Ski Area wasdesigned with every level in mind. Though the peak boasts a vertical gain ofmore than 2,000 feet, nearly half of the resort’s 116 runs are suited forbeginners and intermediates. Its challenging spots, on the other hand, utterlyepitomize the concept locals and tourists alike pay special reverence to Alta skiing icons like Stone Crusher andBaldy Chutes. If you’re searching for an adrenaline-pumping adventure, focusyour lift tickets and ski rentals on these pitches.

Alta ski getaways are also particularly good forfamilies. Not only will you find a hands-on skischool and ski tours appropriatefor all age groups, but you’ll also be able to track down discount dealsand low prices on rentals and ticketsthroughout the season. Plus, there’splenty to do for any type of traveler. Teenagers can check out the night skiing, thrill-seeking parents can takea pass at the heli skiing, and everyone can enjoy an apres-run meal at thebase and mid-mountain eateries. When it comes to the top UT ski vacations, Alta is a shining star

Excellent mountain. Limited bathrooms etc. Lots of old hippies and worn-out ski bums.

Absolutely loved the tram at Snowbird. I am not a ski person, but the views were breathtaking. Young adults traveling with me loved it also!
