Northside Winter Parking Program 2023-2024

The Town of Alta and Alta Ski Area are preparing to operate the Northside Winter Parking Program during the 23-24 ski season. The program will operate similarly to previous winters.

Please visit our new Parking Page for more information. We will continue to post updates as they become available.

The Town hosted a virtual open house for parking program users on October 17th. Click here to listen to an audio recording of the meeting.

A limited supply of sandbags are available for Alta residents and property owners in the northeast corner of the Wildcat Parking Lot. Salt Lake County has a much larger large stockpile of filled sandbags at the Public Works Sandbag Shed at 604 West 6960 South in Midvale. Salt Lake County provides 25 sandbags per vehicle, per day at this location. For more questions about sandbags, contact Chris Cawley at ccawley@townofalta.com.

If your property is experiencing or is about to experience significant flooding or inundation, please take sandbags and or call Alta Central at 801-742-3522.
