Alta Utah the best snow on earth!

Alta is situated in heart of little cottonwood canyon, a place where the snow never stop falling. With a avarage of 500in of wasath powder each year. Alta rancked 1 in north america for the snow by Ski Magazine.

Mountain info: Summit elevation 10 550ft, vertical drop 2 200ft, 11 old and slow lift, annual snowfall 500in, 116 trails and bowl ( 25% easiest, 40% more difficult and 35% most difficult). For the best experience and to appreciate the mountain ski Alta during the week. The price of the ticket is 59$us and 79$us to ski both mountain Alta and Snowbird, the price ticket in Utah have nothing in commun with the Colorado ski resort.



In Alta it's very difficult appreciate the 2 200ft of vertical drop in one ride because the mountain is separate in small area, so if you want to transfer from a area to a other you gonna practice your cross country skiing (if you know what i mean).

There is the trail map:

As you can see, Alta have a lot of powder at certain place of the mountain. During our day to Alta we have skiing all the spot under the Wildcat chair a very step place with a lot of threes, also Ballroom near the trail 62 and 63 and the West Rustler. Alta was my first experience deep powder and i how be back in winter 2009 for sure. What a feeling!
