ALEXIS’ SKI TRIP

TO ALTA-UTAH, US.

7 NIGHTS/1 STOP

 

An amazing ski trip to Alta. The hotspot for powder snow!

My name is Alexis I have been skiing since I was little kid in Switzerland. When we lived in the United States, we explored ski resorts around the United States. This time we headed for a ski trip to Utah and skied in Alta for one week. It snowed all day long and we just could jump and play in the powder in the middle of the trees! We loved the atmosphere of the village: every morning the shuttle bus would drive us to the ski slopes. This provided us with the opportunity to chat with the bus driver about snow and slope conditions and get weather updates. Our budget for the whole trip was around $2500 per person for 8 nights (excluded food and activities) .
7 nights and 1 stop

OUR "COUP DE COEUR"

GOOD TO KNOW

  • Beware that snowboarders are not allowed in the resort! Choose Snowbird if you are not a skier.
  • Very few hotels & rentals in Alta. In peak season, you have to book well in advance. 
  • Very easy access to the resort from Salt Lake City International and only 1 hour away
  • Salt Lake City is a well-served airport from all US main cities. It is easy to find good fares and direct flights.
  • When you rent a cottage, they offer a grocery shopping service. You send your list well in advance and get it directly in your fridge (even beer and wine)
  • Beware: there are no grocery stores in Alta. Buy your provisions for the week in the valley.
  • Buy your Ski tickets online here: check for special Alta family season pass package that was much more economical than paying for 7 full days of skiing for 5.u 
  • Plan ahead and save on skiing. save up to 20 percent on lift tickets purchased in advance.
  • Road conditions can be tough. If you rent a car you will need winter tires and snow chains (mandatory).
