I rented EXCELLENT skis from the DPH at the Alta Lodge. I couldn't have been happier. But my…read moreexperience got even better when I decided to buy new ski boots. JP helped me. And help is an understatement. He spent THREE hours finding the exact right boot, measuring the flex in my ankle, looking at my feet, asking me about my skiing. THEN he made me wonderful new foot beds, warmed the Solomon boots and waited for them to mold to my feet. The next day skiing I realized I have never ever had a better boot: super strong to withstand very hard skiing and yet I had no pain whatsoever. It was simply an amazing miraculous experience. JP will soon be discovered so I recommend rushing to the Alta Lodge DPH or whichever branch he is in and quickly buying the best boots of your life. The whole experience was incredible and everyone else in the shop couldn't have been nicer either.

That's a pretty big pro-- but ultimately we found it offset by some "cons" which will likely keep us from choosing the Peruvian again in the future. Especially at $550/night. In addition to the proximity to the mountain, they also have an onsite ski shop. We did enjoy the big lobby and lower level room it's well set up with spots to hang out, play games, read a book, or get some work done. You can drop your bags & ski until your room is ready or after check-out and they nicely accommodated a 1 pm check out for us, which I greatly appreciated. Your food is included in your room charge. The breakfast & lunch is served buffet style and set out on sterno burners at the start of service and not refreshed before the end of service. While I made the best of it the three days we stayed, the breakfast & lunch were not enjoyable. Dinner, on the other hand, was surprisingly good. They had a different vegetarian option each evening and several non-veg entrees +soup, a few salads, and several desserts. The drinks were also very reasonable. I would love to see an afternoon snack service of some type (even just more cookies) offered between lunch & dinner. But there is a small store that does carry some sundry snacks if you get peckish. Being avid skiers who've stayed our fare share of ski lodging, we were prepared for the very small, not updated, old-timey-"charm" that is the Peruvian and we are not fussy about that sort of thing. That said, they missed the mark on some of the basic expectations around cleanliness, leading to my 3 star review. Most acutely, the bathroom in our unit was not cleaned between guests & although they sent someone in to clean after we complained, the bathroom remained sub-par on the cleanliness scale. On a seemingly more chronic level dishes & silverware in the dining room were frequently dirty and the hot tubs were also not particularly clean. Oh, and the bed was one of the least comfortable beds I've ever slept in. We come to the SLC area annually and have stayed slope-side, hotel in SLC, with friends, AIRBNB, etc. We were excited to stay slope-side at Alta but will revert back to staying elsewhere and driving the 30 minutes from town if we want to ski at Alta, oh well.

The last time I went it was snowing while sunny out somehow, with the sun shining through the storm clouds above, and felt surreal. This was my first season skiing, though this is hands down the best ski resort I've been to so far. One time this April I made the mistake of crossing over into Snowbird's Mineral Basin, and the conditions were so much worse for just being on the other side of the ridge. It was way hotter, sunnier, and more crowded, with way more rocks, moguls, and dirt spots littering the runs, so I crossed back into Alta after 2 runs. The runs at Alta are wide and well groomed, so you can pick up some serious speed without feeling like you're risking your life doing so. Late season there was barely anyone else there too, even while it was snowing somehow (likely an effect of not allowing snowboarders). The staff here are top notch and always professional, and Alta has some of the best chairlifts I've seen. Another huge plus is how close you can park to the points at which you get on the base mountain chairlifts, as walking in ski boots while carrying skis is no fun. You can literally ski right up to your car at the end of the day if you park in the right spot. They also have a rope tow from base to base, which saves you from possibly having to take the bus at the end of the day to the other base. The only hiccups here were the requiring of parking reservations on weekends, and the pass scanner machine midway up Collins Lift not reading my Ikon Pass with no worker nearby to help, so I'd have to ski down to the bottom and take the lift all the way up.

This was my first season skiing, and my first time here I made the mistake of going up Gadzoom and Little Cloud chairs and got cliffed out in Little Cloud Bowl with all the black diamonds. I wasn't going to call ski patrol to take me down in the basket like my friend did at the top of Gadzoom after having a panic attack, and slowly, tediously made my way down. It was quite the adventure, looking back. I couldn't believe how long it took and how much distance and vertical drop I covered to get to the bottom; the runs here are some of the longest I've been on. One benefit of this resort over Alta is not needing parking reservations during weekends, which saved my ski day one Saturday I tried going to Alta without a parking reservation, then had to come here after talking to the parking attendant there putting $250 tickets on cars without reservations. The skiable area is massive here as well, and there's a whole other skiable side of the mountain (Mineral Basin) with breathtaking views you get to by taking this conveyer belt thing through a secret mining tunnel. The hoards of snowboarders do cause way more lines and congestion here than Alta, and I had to wait in line for a while for the tram on a Saturday. Luckily I soon found the secret tunnel I won't disclose the location of, and was able to ski at Mineral Basin with no lines the rest of that day. There's a lot more moguls and worse snow coverage here than Alta as well, though this year was an extreme outlier and the worst snow year in 4+ decades. It's a shame the Ikon pass only has 7 days to split between here and Alta, as I used up most of my days at Alta and didn't get a chance to explore all the different areas of this vast resort this season.

I could go on and on about the endless pros and minimal cons, but I believe every passionate skier deserves to experience the magic of the Wasatch mountains for themselves...
