From the Alta Blackjack front door, head about 100 yards down the driveway due west. Flat and paved, a quick walk for anyone- when the road has snow on it, it is skiable from door to lift and back. Enter Snowbird at the top of the Whodunnit run about halfway down the Peruvian Gulch. Whodunnit run will take you straight down a snowcat path to the Snowbird Center. Appropriate for any Intermediate skier.

You can ski home off of the Tram, Mineral Express or the Peruvian lift. Just keep to the cat tracks on skier’s right. At the top of the Whodunnit run you will be at the access point you skied to at the beginning of the day. Alta Blackjack’s front door is about 100 yards away due east. Flat and paved- skiable when there is snow or a quick easy walk for anyone. Appropriate for any Intermediate skier.

You can walk to Alta Ski Area by heading east through our parking lot, through Powder Ridge and onto the Wildcat snowcat path. It is about a half a mile, and when there is snow on the ground, most can be done on skis in a cross country manner. For the outdoor enthusiast who enjoys getting their blood pumping, this is an easy enjoyable jaunt.

From the Wildcat or Collins lift, at the Collins mid-station follow snowcat trail on skier’s left. Traverse under Wildcat ski lift, keep following the path (marked with orange ribbons on trees), traverse Westward Ho runs continuing to follow orange markers and heading west (skier’s left) until you come to the backyard of the Alta Blackjack building. Note: This is considered a Black Diamond run as it takes you through wooded areas that are still in-resort but are relatively secluded. Ski it with a friend. Do not ski it if you are not a comfortable Black Diamond skier.

There is also a quick, easy, free shuttle that will take you from the front door of Alta Blackjack to the Collins or Sunnyside base at Alta Ski Area and back again, on call anytime throughout the day.
