Join us Sunday, April 20th for Closing Day of the 2024–25 Season.
It's been another great winter at Alta Ski Area. As we head into the final week of the 2024–25 season, we've already received over 520 inches of snow and our settled snow depth sits at 120 inches. To cap off the great skiing we have enjoyed this winter, Alta will remain open daily through Sunday, April 20th.
