The Utah Ski Destination You'll Want to Visit Next
"The newest addition to Alta lodging is the Snowpine Lodge. While the original Snowpine Lodge, opened in 1938, was the oldest building in the canyon, version 2.0 is anything but. Their restaurant and pub (Swen's and The Gulch) are located on the main floor, with unforgettable views, and are open both for overnight guests and those looking for a la carte dining options. The Stillwell Spa is the largest in Alta, featuring six treatment rooms, an indoor grotto, and an Oxygen Bar for those who find themselves in need of some extra O2 in the Little Cottonwood Canyon altitude. In order to harken back to its history, the original building is deeply embedded within the new construction; repurposed as a fully equipped game room, and aptly named 'The Nest,' it features an arcade, ball-pit, ping-pong, and other amenities for kids, and kids at heart, within the time-honored stone walls. Guests at the Snowpine can also enjoy ski-in, ski-out access and extensive decks which seem to reach out toward the mountains, complete with firepits and games like cornhole which will keep people outdoors after skiing, even in the chilliest of temperatures. Guests can choose from multiple lodging options in order to customize their stay. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served daily and open to everyone." - Travel + Leisure Editors
