Can also have a slightly less fancy sit down lunch at Alta Lodge, the Rustler, or Snowpine. Rustler takes longer and the options tend to me more filling.
Bringing skis when flying has advantages but renting provides the opportunity to demo skis. Also depends on what an airline charges for checked bags and/or whether the person traveling already has a good ski bag.
I'm really fond of the savory stuff at Alta Java. Light, cheap, nice and quick. You're kinda outside though, so that works best on a nice day.
I'll get soup at Alf's on days when I want to get back on the Supreme lift sooner rather than later.
Nice! Forecast is looking decent but still a little ways out. We’re a little mixed on hoping for a big snowfall, but also if that happens we may not be able to get in or out! Risk we’re just gonna have to take. Im easy to spot on the hill if you want to say hi, that’s me in the green one piece haha
Welcome!

Wow - this link is perfect! As I mentioned it's been a while and we took a lesson so we just followed the instructor. (How long? we had rope ties on our skis so we could find them in the powder) Depending on the season, we may head back in April.Welcome!
This webpage is no longer linked (in spite of the title). I wrote up a self-guided tour for advanced skiers, as well as intermediates. It's out of date, in particular the trail maps doesn't have numbers any more. Also the Sunnyside lift was updated and the Albion lift was removed completely. The terrain off Supreme has been changed a bit near where the lift unloads, but that mostly impacts intermediates.

The complete guide to skiing Alta. Want to ski where the locals ski? Read about the best ski areas from local insiders! We let you in on their secrets - everything from hidden powder stashes to what trails to take to ditch the crowds. Check out 99 reviews from people who have skied it first hand!
By the way, you should soon be able to see all the Divas Only sections. That includes Meet On The Hill threads. I won't be at Alta until April but I know there are probably other Divas who will be skiing Alta in March.
Using powder cords is still done when skiing deep powder at Alta. :-)
I’m thinking Solitude or Alta on Monday, then Alta on Wednesday. I’ll be the one with the pink boots!

I'm sure you'll have fun at Alta!
Here's basic info about Snowbird. Other than having new tram cabins, can't think of anything that's changed since this overview was written. They are starting the process for replacing the oldest lifts.

While there are trees at Alta, I can't really think of areas that I would call "glades." For that, Big Sky is better. Because of the mining history at Alta, essentially all the trees were taken down before anyone thought of the idea of skiing at the end of Little Cottonwood Canyon. The trees at Alta were all planted, with a goal of decreasing the chance of mud slides and avalanches.
