Alta December Kids Lodging
NOTE: my posts are not going through to RSAM, so I'll post it here and
hope that the moderators/admins will see to it that it gets to RSAM. Marty wrote: My son (11 year old) and I are intermediate Lake Tahoe skiiers. We would like to visit Alta in December for a few days of powder skiing. We will take a private lesson while we're there to get an introduction to the resort and to powder skiing. We will rent everything except my boots. We need inexpensive (would love to stay at Alta Lodge, but can't afford it) lodging with shuttle service to/from Alta Ski Resort; car rental not out of the question. We aren't party animals; we're just looking for affordability, a heated swimming pool and or a hot tub, breakfast and dinner, and a quiet place to sleep. You won't find much in the way of inexpensive accommodations in the canyon, but there are a grillion inexpensive hotel rooms in town* about a 30 to 60 minute drive to the slopes. I can recommend the Reston Hotel http://www.restonhotelslc.com/ as a basic motel with pool and breakfast reasonably close to the LCC and BCC. They don't seem to have their ski package information on their website yet, but last year they were offering room + lift ticket for $79/night, with additional lift tickets available for $39. The tickets were good at any of the four LCC/BCC resorts. There are other hotels in town* that are on the city bus routes - see http://www.utabus.com/ for details on the bus system. After a couple of hours studying the bus routes I decided that it was simpler to just rent a car. YMMV. Good luck, and have fun. *by "town" I mean not in the canyons. Sandy, Midvale, SLC proper, etc. -- //-Walt // // |
