History

Alta's history goes back much further than when it started its first lift in 1937. Before there were skiers, there were miners. It was back in 1864 that silver was discovered in the canyon by soldiers from Fort Douglas. By 1872, there were several thousand miners living in the town of Alta, serviced by several hotels, restaurants, billiard halls, a Chinese laundry, 26 saloons and a number of brothels. It was in 1935 that legendary skier/ski jumper Alf Engen stepped into what was then a dusty bowl and proclaimed that this would become one of the greatest ski areas in the world. Two years later, Alta opened with what was then the second operational chairlift in the world. The first lift was discovered and developed in Sun Valley. Alta would go on to become recognized as having some of the best powder skiing in the world.
