Alta Summer Road

Alta does not typically allow uphill access during the operating season, but the exception is Summer Road, which is outside the main resort area. It can be used to ski some inbounds terrain that's hard to reach by lifts, and also to reach popular backcountry zones....

Davis Gulch Approach

Park at the Porter Fork trailhead in upper Millcreek Canyon. Head through the gate and up the road through the cabins and enter the trail in the Olympus Wilderness. Follow the trail through the switchbacks and then in the meadow....

Bananas Bowl

A pretty mellow bowl with some great powder skiing. Look for the snowgun on the right side of the Bananas flats and enter near here for the longest run. There are tight trees at the top that you have to make your way through, but it soon opens up into the bowl....

Elevator / Milly Gut Bootpack

Head straight out the gate and begin the boot pack up the ridge. If the boot pack is already set, it will take about 20-30 minutes to reach the peak. If you have to put the boot pack in, it will take much longer....

Heart of Darkness Approach

Park at the S curves 4.2 miles up Big Cottonwood Canyon on the S side of the road. From here follow the creek to the E then follow the summer trail into Mill B S drainage....

Davis Gulch

The Davis Gulch is a Wasatch classic with a wide, open slope at a consistent pitch in the upper thirty degree range. To access, park at the Porter Fork trailhead in upper Millcreek Canyon....

Whipple Approach

To access the Whipple Couloir, park at the Neff's Canyon trailhead in Mount Olympus Cove. From here follow the road grade up into the canyon, stay left at the first branch, and you'll be heading E on a well travelled trail....

Brighton Uphill Access

This is the main uphill route at Brighton resort, and it's typically open during operating hours. This allows all-day access to inbounds runs as well as backcountry terrain. Skin up this route to ski from the Crest Express lift, or to exit the resort through the backcountry gate....

Twin Lakes Pass from Brighton

Twin Lakes Pass divides two valleys with backcountry skiing between Alta and Brighton/Solitude. Most people get there from the Alta side, but if you're starting from Brighton this is the way you can go....

Alta Collins Uphill

Alta does not allow inbounds uphill travel during the operating season, but access is normally allowed in early and late season. During those times the resort is not patrolled, however, and should be treated as backcountry terrain....

Dry Fork

From the top of Supreme lift and to the South, you will find short but nice backcountry runs with some pitch and trees. To get back to the resort, look for the obvious skin track....

Scotty's Approach

To access this run park at the White Pine trailhead and head across the bridge to the trail. The trail cuts right across the base of the run so you can look up it and scope your exit....

Park at the Argenta pull-out on the S side, 7.1 miles up Big Cottonwood Canyon road. Cross the creek and skin up the huge Argenta slide path trending to the right....

Broom Stick

A tight steep slot through the trees skiers right of the Gad 2 lift. It's pretty easy to find if you stay just skiers right in the trees the terrain will naturally funnel you into the small "chute....
