Why Ski Alta?

People often ask on the chair lift why I like to ski at Alta. I always mention that Alta is refreshing because it's a town that just happens to have the Alta Ski Lift Co. as their largest employer. All the lodges are independantly owned. There's a police department, library, post office and townhall. Alta is a local's ski hill where everyone knows one another.

In addition to all those attributes, here are a few more reasons you should ski at Alta:
