General Comments/Likes

Alta is the bomb. Only crowded during the holidays, but not even close to as bad as the bird. No snowboarding equates to fewer people on the slopes. Everybody knows Alta gets the best powder on the planet. Ski the backside, or jitterbug.

Dislikes

Food is only so/so. Some flat spots. Lots of traversing, but its well worth it.
