Stay tuned for weekly updates.
This week's expected impacts for July 3rd – July 10th:
Crews will be working around the mountain throughout the Fourth of July holiday weekend and into next week. The Summer Road is closed today, July 3rd and will reopen to vehicles on July 4th. Thank you for your continued patience with our mountain projects this summer season.
- Realignment of the Supreme lift is underway—avoid the construction zones at all times as heavy machinery is repositioning both terminals
- Snowmaking lines are being installed along the Transfer Tow—avoid walking along the Transfer Tow while crews are working
- Construction continues on the Albion Day Lodge and storage facility—park in designated areas of the Albion parking lot
- The Summer Road opened on July 1st—anticipate intermittent delays due to large cranes and construction vehicles on this route
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 the trail closure between Alf's Restaurant and Cecret Lake Trailhead.
July 3rd update: All hiking trails are clear of snow and mud. Wildflowers are slowly starting to show their colors. Remember to stay on designated trails—even when taking photos.
- Please follow the Upper Albion Meadows detour around Supreme lift construction—this closure is anticipated to stay in effect through the fall
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.
July 3rd update: Realignment work continues and the construction zones around the Supreme lift line remain closed to all travel. Large cranes and heavy machinery will continue operating around the top and bottom terminals as crews work on the foundations for both terminals. The "bend" towers will be removed this week.
- Please avoid the Supreme construction zones at all times
- Large vehicles will create intermittent delays on the Summer Road throughout July—please plan ahead and do not pass construction vehicles
Snowmaking Lines Along the Transfer Tow
The new 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
July 3rd update: Snowmaking lines are fused and awaiting installation along the Transfer Tow.
- Use the Lower Albion Meadows to hike or bike between the Wildcat and Albion base areas
- Do not climb on the snowmaking lines
- Please park in designated areas and watch for heavy machinery
Albion Day Lodge Expansion & Storage Facility
Work will continue on the Albion Day Lodge expansion project and a 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.
July 3rd update: Crews continue work on the storage facility on the north end of the Albion parking lot and work continues on the Albion Day Lodge.
- Please park in the designated areas in the Albion parking lot to access the Upper Albion Meadows trailhead
- The east end of the Albion parking lot will remain closed all summer
- Please watch for heavy machinery in the Albion parking lot
