Mountain Stats Winter

Mountain Stats

We’re a year-round mountain resort found on the western slope of the Tetons in Alta, Wyoming. Located in the Caribou-Targhee National Forest, we two-step in light powder snow all winter long—more than 500 inches annually, but who’s counting? With our lack of lift lines, you can spend your days cutting laps from top to bottom, making the most of our deep snow, varied terrain for every skier and rider, Teton Valley scenery, and western hospitality. 

And in the summer, you can rip ribbons of dirt on two wheels or hike across sprawling ridgelines, taking in the Tetons from every angle. If adventure has a home, this might just be it. 

It’s a damn fine place. But don’t just take our word for it.
