Join us Sunday, April 26th for Closing Day of the 2025–26 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 530 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 26th.
Our closing weekend is typically an all-you-can-eat buffet of sunny groomers, slush bumps, goggle tans and glitter. As we put the finishing touches on our 88th season, please consider the following operational updates as well as a few tips for making the most of Closing Day.
