Best short ski movie I’ve ever seen. My soul’s never been screaming louder for day 1 of the season❄️

Nice interview.

“dogs by Alta permit only” and boy don’t i know this now. 2 winters at Watson Shelter in the early 90’s changed the course of my life. life altering deep powder days. and the shared stories and smiles apres ski. cheers to the production team behind this video. such a fantastic representation of the vibe behind the family of friends that are lucky enough to call this place home.

If you snowboard go to snowbird

It's almost 2025 and alta still doesn't allow snowboarding. Wtf alta. Quit being stupid.

I watch this video a couple time a month while I wait for next season meanwhile I am still skiing your snow in July just wish I had a lift. I think keep wildcat open so it ain’t as long of a walk to ski main in July.

Another lame traverse ahead.

My second year skiing, I was 16 and got a seasons pass at Alta. I vividly recall the run that my friend and I figured out how to ski powder. It had been taught to me, but it was on that run, down Greeley Bowl that we both figured it out. That unlocked a whole new world.

Snowboarders must be stopped! They’re all hippies with dirty long hair.😂

Is there a place to connect and plan to meetup to ski with other women like this? Like a FB group or a text group? Thanks!

The important part is SKI RESORT😂 still no snowboards 👍 excellent.

I havent seen Alta since 1978. I was working at Snowbird. Alta's low key style was wonderful. it was not at that time [yet] ruined by the look of money and wealth and exclusivity, that fancy commercial glam BS that is so common at top operations. I hope Alta has not changed. I prefer X-C because it allows me to take in the most important things while the focus on downhill is to go fast and dominate the mountains. To be close to the incredible beauty of the mountains is why I X-C ski.

I ❤ALTA SKI PATROL!! Thanks for all your hard work.

Alta is the best the only issue is getting there I can’t wait for the gondola to be put in so my family and I can enjoy Alta even more

Just had a great powder day at Alta. The place has soul for sure! Does anyone know the Artist/title of the song @2:30? It doesn’t seem to be credited in the info section.

Marketing. This place is oversold.

I was lucky enough to ski with Alf back in the 70s. Single weekday ski lift tix $7

Soul of pretentious

This captures what makes Alta truly different - a mountain for skiers based on fabulous snow. I skied there more than 100 days in the 1980's and I can attest that the footage of waist deep powder isn't staged. I knew I'd found something unusual when I saw local high school hot shots showing up with snorkels on the big powder days. No one goes there for the scene, just for the skiing and yes, the place does have a unique soul. I've skied all over the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Alta is the best.

Video's first rhetorical answer: "First of all, it's Alta not Alta". I guess that must mean Alta is pretty sweet.

Haha so great! Too bad all they care about is barring access to public lands except for Alta pass holders, as well as destroying the landscape of little cottonwood canyon by building a gondola and ever expanding into public lands in grizzly gulch.

51 consecutive seasons and as always, guaranteed to satisfy! Just got back from a 22" weekend! Thanks for all you do Alta!

Really enjoyed the history and footage. Wish there was more reasonable lodging at Alta...

Alta is for snowboarding!

Ski only resorts have no soul by default

Definitely a special place!! ❤ ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️ ⛷️

What i love about alta is that once you become a local (and this is different from any other place i have ever been) you are expected to act like a host for all the visitors. The ethos of politeness and community is what makes Alta extra special. Now about those icon passes?

Learned to ski powder there in 1978. Paul Bergantz. Always remember. Have been back with my family. Unique experience.

Alta sold its soul when they partnered with IKON and implemented paid/reserved parking. not to mention the fact that they are snowboard racists operating on public US forest service land

Alta saying no snowboarders is like when we told black people only whites can eat in this restaurant.

Gpa Bob Pratt is a legend!!!

Alta had a Soul. They sold it to Ikon.

This made me so homesick. I moved away a couple of years ago and I miss this place. I loved going to Alta year round. Growing up in Salt Lake I spent lots of time up there. The memories this brought back are wonderful. Now if the Canyon Inn would do a flashback video I could revisit some of the best times of my life when needed 😊

I love Alta, and skied hundreds of days there. But their soul died a bit when they signed up to be on the IKON pass system.

Is it better than Hokkaido? The snow here is pretty damn good - Rusutsu, Furano, etc. Lift tickets for less than $60/day too.

My last ride of the year 2022 was down main chute Alta, 1st tracks, waist deep in May. I got applause from skiers. Poach it!

I like skiing Alta but what a weird, outdated form of discrimination to ban snowboarders. Clearly you are stuck in the 80s in a fight against hotdoggers and hooligans.

A place that bans snowboarding in 2024, on National Forest Land, has no soul. Don't kid yourself.

Cool film, now allow snowboarders in please, it's overdue.

Boarders just jealous. Alta is for skiers.

I'm from Alaska & when I was a kid my Dad took us on a ski trip to Utah, I remember Alta was our favorite. The whole no snowboards thing is weird though.

I love that it’s ski only! Thanks for preserving the nice pow

being stuck in the parking lot the other day shows the real soul of alta. skiers there are terrible people. this place has the soul of pre-war nazi germany.

Alta is like heaven. You’ll know when you get there.

A nice film. A great ski area. As someone who both skis and snowboards your line about setting aside division feels self serving and hypocritical. I love skiing there, it's truly awesome, but the owners of Alta are last in line for taking any moral high ground where "sowing division" is concerned. You could easily left out that cringeworthy line and been fine.

Terrific film about a special place

Marketers must be getting pressured to boost sales for alta being that its jan already and little if any snow has fallen . Sales must be way down. They figure "lets get back to our roots" marketing might trigger ticket sales. I have suggestion how about reducing ticket prices to pre 2000. Under 40.00. Good ole.days burger wed for 1.00 at half way lodge.🍔🍔

Alta only has half a soul.

Alta has no soul. End the discrimination.

I'm so fortunate to live in Salt Lake and play here at Alta!
