With so many places mixing snowboarders and skiers on the same runs, it's very refreshing to be in Alta -- a place for skiers.

I enjoy snowboarding as well, but skiing is a much quieter experience, and Alta is happy to accommodate with its beautiful runs and views, along with the almost always perfect snow conditions.

If you want a quiet break away from Park City and Snow Bird, go ski Alta.
