Join us Sunday, April 26th for Closing Day of our 88th Season.
It's been another great winter at Alta Ski Area. As we head into the final week of the 2024–25 season, we've already received over 530 inches of snow and our settled snow depth sits at 120 inches.
Our closing weekend is typically an all-you-can-eat buffet of sunny groomers, slush bumps, goggle tans and glitter. As we put the finishing touches on our 88th season, please consider the following operational updates as well as a few tips for making the most of Closing Day. We look forward to skiing with our friends and family on this final day of the season, riding our favorite lifts and skiing our favorite runs.
