General Comments/Likes

Alta is a great, big, steep, fun mountain. The hiking in bounds was fantastic and out of bounds looked really enticing, except that conditions weren’t great for it. The steeps are fantastic. I didn’t get the feeling this was much of a family oriented place, but then again, there were lots of kids around.

Dislikes

The link between the two bases seems a bit hokey. A surface lift that is very slow.
