Mountain HostCongratulations to Donna, a 2025 Ski Utah Yeti winner who was awarded "Guest Services Professional of the Year."
Working 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.

Front Office ManagerI have been a part of this incredible team since 2006. Working in the front office, I have had the honor to welcome so many people from all over the world to experience the “Magic of Alta.” Alta encourages an active lifestyle…we work hard, we play (ski) hard. Alta is such a wonderful place—from the people I get to work with to the romantic alpenglow at the end of our day.
