Nice place, but the elitism isn’t needed. Also, let the free people of America snowboard.

Very expensive. Too much traversing. My family who snowboards has to stay at snowbird when I want to ski. Not a family friendly resort.

Stuck in the 80s with a hate for snowboarding. They don’t clearly mark this on their site.

Would you like to see snowboards on the slopes with the skiers?

Luke Nelson | Oct 24, 2021
Dane Hauser | Oct 24, 2020

As someone who both snowboards and skis, I'm ok with a few resorts allowing just skiing. Sure, I'd love to board Alta but I'm much more comfortable at Alta on a family ski day then I am at a place like Brighton. Not to mention how much better quality the snow remains when it's not all getting scraped off.

What happens if a snowboard hits the snow at alta

Luke Nelson | Oct 25, 2019
Ryan Jensen | Oct 24, 2020

A mighty lightening bolt will burst forth from Mt Baldy, cracking the board in two lengthwise and you will be forced to ride down the mountain on two planks instead of one just as God intended.

How can they use public us land to ban snowboarding? With our tax dollars subsidizing their land use. They pay under $500,000 a year to use our land and ban us.meanwhile other resorts pay millions. How can a welfare resort ban people from publicland

Alta is a leaseholder of Federal land, and as such, they have the right to control activities that take place within the area.

mike schultz | Oct 24, 2021
Marc Guido | Oct 24, 2021

Day tickets need to be purchased in advance this season. There are no reservations otherwise, but once parking is full the mountain is too. That's how they're controlling attendance. Everything you need to know is here: https://www.alta.com/winter-2020-21

Ikon is obviously killing the ski buzz in LCC, what is the chance of Alta not renewing the Ikon agreement in the near future?

Howie Oren | Oct 24, 2020
Mike McDonald | Oct 24, 2020

Good question. Time will tell.

How busy is Alta right now?

graham stevens | Oct 24, 2020
Howie Oren | Oct 24, 2020

It is a madhouse most days because of the newer Ikon discount passes. Be sure you get to the mouth of the canyon by 730 on a snow day otherwise parking is not an option

Get the "Ski Utah" app on your phone and you will have access to conditions and road closures all the time. Upper Little Cottonwood canyon is currently closed.

how far from airport by car?

Michael Bersin | Oct 25, 2019
Tom Kascak | Oct 25, 2019

About 45 minutes normally but with ikon pass if there is good snow parking will be scarce and could be 2 plus hours. Was just there last week during the week and traffic was awful. Plus the ride down the canyon could be 2 hours as well.
