Visitor Tips For A Busy Alta Summer: Many of us seek the mountains with our families and friends to enjoy beautiful views and to find an escape from the city. This summer looks a little different at Alta as crews will be working around the mountain to complete several projects that can only be accomplished during our short summer season. These projects are underway in both of our parking lots while also reaching the top of the Supreme lift.
Please be aware that construction equipment and vehicles may be working on the mountain, in parking lots, the Summer Road and through the campground. When in the vicinity of construction crews and vehicles give them plenty of space and ensure that you are visible.
Thank you for slowing down and being extra aware while visiting Alta this summer season.
Hiking & Trail Closures
We are anticipating temporary trail closures this summer and fall due to ongoing construction projects. Please follow trail closures between Alf's Restaurant and Cecret Lake Trailhead—this closure is anticipated to stay in effect through the fall. Our crews have finished work on the Wyssen Tower project in the Devil's Castle and Sugarloaf Peak areas. The Transfer Tow is closed between the Town Park and Albion Day Lodge.
August 14th update: The Transfer Tow remains closed from the Town Park to the Albion Day Lodge and south to the Jump Hill area as we upgrade snowmaking lines along the Transfer Tow.
- Due to the current Transfer Tow closure, there is no easy hiking trail access between base areas—experienced hikers can follow the Upper Albion Meadows to Snake Pit to Lower Albion Meadows trail reroute to hike between Albion and Wildcat base areas
- Please follow the Upper Albion Meadows detour around Supreme lift construction
- Remember to stay on designated trails—even when taking photos
Supreme Lift Realignment
The United States Forest Service has recently authorized Alta Ski Area to modify the alignment of the existing Supreme lift. The current Supreme lift will be dismantled and reinstalled to create a new, straighter alignment that eliminates the eight-degree bend present in the existing lift line. The top and bottom terminals were pivoted but remain in their general locations. The lift will be realigned during the summer of 2025 and is expected to open for Alta's 2025–26 ski season.
August 14th update: Work continues along the new Supreme lift line.
- Please avoid the Supreme construction zones at all times
Snowmaking Lines Along the Transfer Tow
Snowmaking lines are being installed along the Transfer Tow between Wildcat and Albion base areas. Snowmaking lines are staged at the south end of the Wildcat parking lot. The Transfer Tow is currently closed from the Town Park to the Albion Day Lodge.
August 14th update: As crews continue digging trenches, the Transfer Tow remains closed from the Town Park to the Albion Day Lodge—this closure will likely be in place for several more weeks. Please avoid this area.
- Do not climb on the snowmaking lines
- Please respect these closures and do not duck ropes or hike off-trail
- Please park in designated areas and watch for heavy machinery

Albion Day Lodge Expansion & Storage Facility
The Albion base area is home to the Albion Day Lodge expansion project and the construction of a new storage facility on the north side of the Albion parking lot. The Albion parking lot will be impacted by multiple construction projects, which will at times limit parking throughout the summer and fall. The east end of the Albion parking lot will remain closed all summer
August 14th update: Crews will be working on the Albion Day Lodge expansion project and the storage facility in the Albion parking lot. Additional concrete pours will take place through next week.
- Please park in the designated areas in the Albion parking lot to access the Upper Albion Meadows trailhead
- Please watch for heavy machinery in the Albion parking lot
