Alta has something like 5 - 10 K of groomed nordic track in Albion basin and circling the rope tow between the "Goldminer's" base area and the Albion base area. It's essentially down in the meadows along the streambed, and rolls up into the foothills below Rustler. The Albion Basin road is also good for skating without having downhillers hurtle past you-- it ascends with several switchbacks from the Albion base area up into the basin proper.

Yes, the trails you mentioned are lift-served alpine ski trails, not XC
trails.
I didn't even know Alta had designated XC trails. Can anybody provide
more info about this? There's nothing on their website...
(P.S. Sorry for coming to the party late, but I was Googling on XC
options near Alpine skiing and this post popped up. It seemed recent
enough to warrant a reply.)
