Alf's Assistant Restaurant ManagerI stumbled into Alta on a 20-plus-inch pow day and have enjoyed the ski and work experience ever since! Every season brings with it a new passion and excitement and a long list of days labeled “Best Day Ever”. If you value top-notch steep skiing, a workplace that encourages getting into the mountains and a diverse community of like-minded people, I can’t think of a better place to spend a winter (or 6).

Mountain HostWorking at Alta is like being with your best friends every day. My job as a Mountain Host is so rewarding because I get to meet people from around the world—helping skiers navigate Alta during the snowy months and hikers during the wildflower months. Every Alta guest, whether they are local or first-time visitors, brings so much character to the mountain. I came for the winter and stayed for the summer.

I.T. Support TechnicianWorking IT Support for Alta has been a dream come true. No matter what kind of problem I’m solving, I’m not only helping a colleague, but a friend and a valuable member of the community. Usually, as we get older, we feel smaller. Alta reminds me every day that everyone has a place they belong, and it’s possible to make a living doing something you love in a place that feels like home. Plus, you can’t find views like this from your office anywhere else.
