Since Alta’s humble beginnings as a ski area in 1938, Alta has worked to introduce the sport and culture of skiing to new skiers. A big part of that commitment is Alta’s Sunnyside At 3 program.
Alta's Sunnyside At 3 program allows skiers to ride our beginner lifts, Sunnyside and Albion, from 3-4:30pm daily. This program offers one of the most affordable ways to ski in the state of Utah.
Due to COVID-19, the Sunnyside At 3 program will only be available for the 2020-21 season via the season-long Sunnyside At 3 Card.
