description Alta Overview
Alta is a historic, ski-only resort in Little Cottonwood Canyon, Utah. It is famous for its deep, dry powder and its no-nonsense approach to skiing. Like Deer Valley, it does not allow snowboarders, which creates a unique, dedicated community of skiers. The terrain is varied, with plenty of steep chutes and bowls for experts, as well as great intermediate runs.
Alta is not about luxury or nightlife; it is about the purity of the skiing experience. It is a favorite among locals and serious skiers who want to focus on the mountain and the snow.
