They have gear for all budgets, but the best in each class. Skiing, like my fishing gear, is better to buy quality and function, which staff members here can help with. Thank you Tiffany and her dedicated staff (Schwinn, Raquel, Nick, Connor, Evan, Chelsea) for all their suggestions, expertise and knowledge when outfitting me and my family for the slopes. Over the years I have purchased 2 sets of ski boots here at Christy's. Best decision ever. My new boots are patiently and skillfully custom fitted to my feet over the next few days. Go out and ski, come back to the shop and get the boots adjusted until they are a perfectly comfortable fit. Steve, Ted Shred, Caleb, Tyson, Gator and forgive me for the boot techs I forgot the names of, are awesome ! Christy's Sports up at Snowbird. You have spoiled me and my family.

That's a pretty big pro-- but ultimately we found it offset by some "cons" which will likely keep us from choosing the Peruvian again in the future. Especially at $550/night. In addition to the proximity to the mountain, they also have an onsite ski shop. We did enjoy the big lobby and lower level room it's well set up with spots to hang out, play games, read a book, or get some work done. You can drop your bags & ski until your room is ready or after check-out and they nicely accommodated a 1 pm check out for us, which I greatly appreciated. Your food is included in your room charge. The breakfast & lunch is served buffet style and set out on sterno burners at the start of service and not refreshed before the end of service. While I made the best of it the three days we stayed, the breakfast & lunch were not enjoyable. Dinner, on the other hand, was surprisingly good. They had a different vegetarian option each evening and several non-veg entrees +soup, a few salads, and several desserts. The drinks were also very reasonable. I would love to see an afternoon snack service of some type (even just more cookies) offered between lunch & dinner. But there is a small store that does carry some sundry snacks if you get peckish. Being avid skiers who've stayed our fare share of ski lodging, we were prepared for the very small, not updated, old-timey-"charm" that is the Peruvian and we are not fussy about that sort of thing. That said, they missed the mark on some of the basic expectations around cleanliness, leading to my 3 star review. Most acutely, the bathroom in our unit was not cleaned between guests & although they sent someone in to clean after we complained, the bathroom remained sub-par on the cleanliness scale. On a seemingly more chronic level dishes & silverware in the dining room were frequently dirty and the hot tubs were also not particularly clean. Oh, and the bed was one of the least comfortable beds I've ever slept in. We come to the SLC area annually and have stayed slope-side, hotel in SLC, with friends, AIRBNB, etc. We were excited to stay slope-side at Alta but will revert back to staying elsewhere and driving the 30 minutes from town if we want to ski at Alta, oh well.

The combination of legendary Little Cottonwood Canyon snow and being less than an hour from Salt Lake City is incredibly hard to beat. You can park, grab a quick snack in the lodge, click into your skis, and be riding the lift without any unnecessary fuss. Alta is very different from places like Park City or many of the big Colorado resorts. There isn't a bustling village at the base, and that's exactly how the regulars like it. The entire experience revolves around skiing, with just the essentials and none of the distractions. I actually never even made it over to neighboring Snowbird because I always got so carried away exploring Alta that I never felt the need to leave. The skiing is exceptional, the mountain is the perfect size for a full day, and the atmosphere feels authentic in an increasingly rare way. It's relaxed without being sleepy, serious about skiing without feeling exclusive, and full of people who genuinely love being there. If you're looking for incredible snow and one of the purest skiing experiences anywhere, Alta absolutely deserves its legendary reputation.

The last time I went it was snowing while sunny out somehow, with the sun shining through the storm clouds above, and felt surreal. This was my first season skiing, though this is hands down the best ski resort I've been to so far. One time this April I made the mistake of crossing over into Snowbird's Mineral Basin, and the conditions were so much worse for just being on the other side of the ridge. It was way hotter, sunnier, and more crowded, with way more rocks, moguls, and dirt spots littering the runs, so I crossed back into Alta after 2 runs. The runs at Alta are wide and well groomed, so you can pick up some serious speed without feeling like you're risking your life doing so. Late season there was barely anyone else there too, even while it was snowing somehow (likely an effect of not allowing snowboarders). The staff here are top notch and always professional, and Alta has some of the best chairlifts I've seen. Another huge plus is how close you can park to the points at which you get on the base mountain chairlifts, as walking in ski boots while carrying skis is no fun. You can literally ski right up to your car at the end of the day if you park in the right spot. They also have a rope tow from base to base, which saves you from possibly having to take the bus at the end of the day to the other base. The only hiccups here were the requiring of parking reservations on weekends, and the pass scanner machine midway up Collins Lift not reading my Ikon Pass with no worker nearby to help, so I'd have to ski down to the bottom and take the lift all the way up.
