Alta
Snowbird
It's been said that the only thing "little" about Utah's
Little Cottonwood Canyon is the name. Just 29 miles from
Salt Lake International Airport marks the entryway to a
world of unforgettable winter adventures.
When driving in on Utah Route 210, first-time and repeat
visitors alike are awestruck by the impressive mountain
vistas unfolding before their eyes. Since the majority of
land within the canyon is part of the Wasatch-Cache
National Forest, this natural, national treasure will be
preserved for future generations to enjoy.
Long a favorite of backcountry skiers and rock climbers,
the canyon offers unparalleled athletic challenges, like
the famed Y and Tanner's Couloirs. But the canyon is also
home to two, world renowned alpine ski resorts: Snowbird
and Alta.

Alta is a traditional skiers' mountain (no snowboarding,
please) with a no nonsense ambiance, while Snowbird tends
to pamper its guests within a resort atmosphere. But the
beauty of it is, one isn't forced to choose between the
two. With the advent of the 2001-02 season, Alta and
Snowbird, while maintaining their own identity, will be interconnected-- accessible on the same
lift ticket!
The total combined stats of both areas is impressive, to
say the least. On one ticket, you get 4,700 skiable acres,
22 lifts--including a tramway--nine base area lodges, 22
restaurants, two childcare facilities and that's not to
mention the snow!
The Dean of Ski Writers, the late I.William Berry, wrote,
"Nobody matches Snowbird and Alta for the sheer quality of
snow. Maybe the Sierras get a tad more, and maybe Bridger
almost gives 'em a run for the fluff, but on overall
magnificence of snow these two ski mountains are not only
the best in the country, but according even to
Europhiles, possibly in the entire world."
His statement is not to be taken lightly because Berry was
a somewhat cynical ski writer who pulled no punches. If
he said it's the best quality snow, the odds are you'll
reach a similar conclusion on your next visit. So what
