Description
Alta resort is along with Snowbird, the powder capital in the world. The snow here is abundant with fantastic snow records and great steep terrain to test the most expert of skiers. Beginner and intermediate skiers are well catered for here as well and the linked access to Snowbird makes it one of the largest ski areas in the us. The village centre is small and friendly, with quiet apres ski, making for a relaxing off slope experience.
