About Alta Ski Area

Alta is a skiers-only holdout in Utah's Little Cottonwood Canyon, and one of the snowiest lift-served places on Earth — the canyon regularly measures over 500 inches a year of famously light powder. The culture is deliberately old-school: no snowboarding, lodges instead of a village, and terrain that rewards traversing and hiking. Alta shares a high-alpine boundary and a combined ticket with neighboring Snowbird, and skiing both in a day is the point of the canyon.

Alta Ski Area is a ski resort in Little Cottonwood Canyon, Utah. PeakCam tracks 2 webcams here, plus snow depth from the assigned NRCS station, updated every six hours.

PeakCam treats this as the off-season here; if the mountain is still operating, the numbers and cams above are the thing to trust.

Frequently Asked

How much snow does Alta Ski Area have right now?
Alta Ski Area is outside its usual season, so current readings reflect off-season conditions. PeakCam updates this page year-round.
Does Alta Ski Area have live webcams?
Yes — this page has 2 webcams for Alta Ski Area (regularly refreshing stills), free and without an account.
Where does Alta Ski Area's snow data come from?
From the NRCS snow-telemetry station assigned to Alta Ski Area. PeakCam syncs it every six hours and runs range and spike quality checks. When at least two unflagged on-mountain user reports land within 24 hours, they can move the condition rating by one tier — they never change the depth number. Sensor readings can differ from the resort's own report, which usually quotes the upper mountain.
