The Real Resorts

Alta

Alta Ski Area is one of the oldest ski resorts in the country, the first ski lift opened in 1939. It’s located very close to the Salt Lake City metropolitan area, in the Wasatch Mountains next door to the Snowbird Ski Resort. “Vertical gain” at Alta, from the base to the highest point, is a little over 2,000 feet. They have over 2,000 acres of skiable space – sorry, no snowboarders.

Alta Vacation Rentals

The ski resort is in the town of Alta, with a nice selection of both condos and larger cabins and homes.
