Stay tuned for weekly updates.

This week's expected impacts for June 12th–19th:

Crews will be working around the mountain throughout the Father's Day Weekend and into next week:

  • Snowmaking lines are being installed along the Transfer Tow from the Wildcat parking lot—please park in designated areas and follow the pedestrian route to access Wildcat base area
  • Construction and excavation work continue on the Albion Day Lodge and storage facility—park in designated areas of the Albion parking lot
  • Most trails are still snow-covered—check Alta's Mountain Cams before planning a hike

Hiking & Trail Closures

We are anticipating temporary trail closures this summer and fall due to ongoing construction projects. To avoid snow-covered trails and construction projects this week, consider hiking the Twin Lakes Pass trail on the north side of Highway 210.

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 will be 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.

June 12th update: Realignment work continues, and the area around the Supreme lift line remains closed to all travel.

  • Please avoid the Supreme lift line at all times
  • Crews will be digging holes to pour concrete footings for the lift realignment
  • The Supreme lift towers were removed on June 10th
