Alta Ski Area, Alta

Great place to ski. Anyone that tells you it makes no difference if snowboards are allowed, has never skied a run with out them. It makes for an amazing ski experience. Add to that the real ski feeling, not just some other resort taking all they can when they can, Alta is the real deal if your a fan of skiing. This is by far one of the most enjoyable large ski hills I have been to. The prices seem fair for everything from the lift tickets to food and merchandise. I highly suggest you give Alta a try!

Great terrain for experienced skiers. Both Alta and Snowbird (which is right next door) have a great combinations of verticals and powdery snow. I really enjoyed the variation of terrain at Alta - nice combo of fast groomers, tranquil tree skiing, moguls, and chutes and bowls. I would not consider this a good place for newbies or even intermediate skiers. I would say advanced levels will enjoy this the best.
