Visitor Reviews of Alta


Kevin from UNITED STATES writes:

Among great skiers Alta is always rated the best. Best snow, best trails (there are few trails - you ski the mountain), best trees and tough. The only place Alta ranks low is the town - there is no town. You basically ski and go to bed.

Also, you fly into SLC which is always open. You then drive 45 minutes to the mountain.
