Report from November 27, 2024 I skied Alta until 4 pm on Tuesday. The big storm day that wasn’t a big storm day.

Alta, UT, Report: 1,800-Vertical-Feet of Terrific Early Season Skiing With Zero Lift Lines

Report from November 25, 2024 Today was my first inbounds day at Alta this season after 10 fun uphill preseason days. Alta is legit right now.
