The snow has been piling up early and there is already a 20" base. With that in mind, Alta Ski Area plans to open for the 2009-2010 ski season on Friday, November 20. Obviously conditions permitting. Stay tuned as we'll let you know when that day is confirmed...

We are optimistic that we will get some significant snow out of Sunday night’s storm and will decide on an opening date by the end of the day Monday. However, it will not be before Wednesday

With the nice 10” weekend storm and the good snowmaking weather we will be ready to open this Wednesday at 9:15.

We will open with our Collins detachable quad, offering top (10,400') to bottom (8,530') intermediate and expert skiing, and our Sunnyside detachable triple, opening up nice beginner and intermediate skiing. Other lifts will open as conditions allow.

The mountain is closed to uphill traffic. The summer road, Grizzly Gulch, and Supreme will remain accessible.
