First time heading to UT for skiing and i hoping someone could shed some light on whether there are singles lines at Alta or Snowbird, as ill be skiing solo.

Being a first timer there, any other insight and advice on the skiing at either resort would be great.

thanks!

There are, but also it was 60 degrees at the mouth of the canyon today. Tough season so far

Some friends that moved down there visited over break and were being powder snobs. I said at least we have snow. You know Courtney? Petite.

Singles line at Alta Collins lift "hit the second tower" on sat/sun. But its exaggerated by Christmas tourists and all the Wasatch waking up because it snowed. Lines vary a ton day to day and hour by hour.

I'd generally say its a great way to go. When you are out here hit me up and I can show you around alta and save you from being alone

Thanks mikem, much appreciated.


Hoping it’ll be much slower on a March mid weekday.

IMO should really be a line for single skis. At Alta this would mean monoski only

If you go to Snowbird, make sure to smack anyone that uses the fast tracks line with your poles

Nothing worse than non aggressive singles line riders. Every 5th chair should be a singles line chair as well.
