Replying to Tram to Alta

Essentially, you could take the tram up at the Bird and then travers/hike over to the top of Badly Express to dip on over to Alta while Alta is closed and get a full untouched run over at Alta. Do people do this all the time? If not, what are the reasons? I'm just curious because with a pretty reasonable amount of hiking over to the top of Badly Express, you could get a full run over at Alta. If people do this all the time then sweet! But I've never really seen or heard of anyone doing this so obviously there must be reasons why. Just curious and no I'm not going to pursue this if It's a bad idea just to make that clear.
