Alta is for skiers. All types of skiers. Though some skiers may aspire to rack up 50 or even 100 days on the slopes each winter, that’s not feasible for many folks due to scheduling, budget or geographical constraints. Fortunately, there are several ways to enjoy the mountain at an entry point lower than the cost of a full Alta Season Pass or Alta Family Package. These passes are great for skiers who call Alta home and plan to visit Alta anywhere between four and 14 days each season.
These passes are a great option for those who want to save money during popular holiday periods or powderhounds looking to catch the deepest powder days of the season. The offerings below are great for new skiers looking to hone their skills, as well as for those with busy careers, families, or those who live beyond Utah but still plan to create some special memories at Alta next season. Our transferable passes are ideal for season passholders looking to share a great day at Alta with family and friends.
We hope to see you on the slopes of Alta Ski Area this winter.
