"Those hoping to take advantage of uphill travel options at Alta need to be aware that the mountain is now considered backcountry and backcountry conditions do exist. Those accessing the mountain are responsible for assessing avalanche hazards and risk and should carry and know how to use all avalanche gear."
"In the case of an emergency, there is no ski patrol to assist and therefore you are responsible for your own rescue. Equipment may be encountered on the mountain as well, and hazards will not be marked."
"While the on-mountain dining options are closed, those visiting can still check out both the Gulch Pub and Swen's Restaurant in Snowpine Lodge, both of which are open daily."
The 2025/2026 ski season at Alta Ski Area concluded on April 26th with a 13 inch powder celebration. While lifts and on-mountain dining are closed, uphill travel is permitted, but the mountain is now classified as backcountry. Visitors must assess avalanche risks and carry necessary gear, as there is no ski patrol available for emergencies. Hazards on the mountain will not be marked, and access to Snowbird is prohibited. Dining options nearby include Gulch Pub and Swen's Restaurant, which remain open for breakfast and dinner.
