Ride the
Ski Bus to Alta

Download the 2020-21 Ski Bus schedule

Alta is keeping you safe by socially distancing skiers in lines, parking, restaurants and common areas. We are also encouraging people to avoid carpooling with skiers outside of your household and to take advantage of the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) Ski Bus. Skiers with qualifying Alta season passes, Ikon Passes or an Ikon Base Pass can ride the UTA Ski Bus for free!.

UTA’s top priority is the safety of skiers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

UTA is ensuring your safety on the Ski Bus through the following efforts

• Daily sanitizing/cleaning
• Limiting passenger loads on buses (watch for bus is full signs)
• Driver barriers
• Masks required at all times
• Hand sanitizer dispensers
• Contactless fare payment
• Socially distanced lines at key stops

UTA can’t do this alone, so please follow these simple safety guidelines

• Stay six feet apart in social distance lines or on the bus
• Wear your mask at all times
• Keep skis with you instead of ski racks
• Use hand sanitizer

"We expect greater delays on the ski bus due to these safety measures and canyon traffic. However, we will be monitoring ridership daily and working with the ski resorts to get riders to and from the resorts as effectively as possible."
