The free Alta Demo Day is normally the first Saturday of April. This was the first on in a few years and was held on April 2, 2022. There were about a dozen brand tents, mostly major brands as opposed to Indies. Registration is only on-site starting at 8:30am, and the Demo Day ends at 3:00pm. The lifts open at 9:15am. Supposed to only take two runs.
Snow conditions were actually pretty decent for demo'ing after mid-morning when the snow in the sun softened. By the afternoon, there were soft bumps on the lower mountain. I usually check out skis for off-piste terrain on Lower Rustler or 180 if possible. Demo runs are done off the Collins lift since the Demo Day is set up at the Wildcat base.
There were far more skis for petite women than when I first started checking out skis at the Alta Demo Day in 2011. Since then I've become a solid advanced skier, age 65, 5'0", 110 pounds.
Although I rode up a couple times with @Scribble, I was demo'ing solo most of the day. Using the singles line meant very short waits to load the lift after 9:30 or so.
