With over 100+ inches of snow last week and the week before, Alta now has a base of 58 inches and all lifts but Albion are running. The connection to Snowbird is open and the skiing is great!
If you are planning to turn in at a reasonable hour on Thursday evening, you’ll be all set for a day on the slopes of Alta Friday morning and have the ski slopes almost to yourself. Most New Year’s parties go into the next morning with people celebrating 2016, sleeping in and/or nursing hangovers. Or you can opt to be in the clear mountain air on a sunny day, enjoying the feeling of the wind in your face. If early is not in the cards for you, stop by Alta Lodge for lunch and then head out for the afternoon and back for apres ski at the Sitzmark Bar–ranked in The Manual as one of the “Best Mountain Town Bars”
Wishing you the best for the New Year in 2016!
