Winter in Alta is a haven for skiers and telemarkers. The Alta Ski Resort Ski School offers lessons for all abilities. There are also numerous camps and clinics that have a more distinct focus. Guided backcountry and helicopter trips offer visitors the opportunity to experience out of bounds skiing safely.

The Alta Ski School offers private, group, workshops and children's lessons. Private lessons can be anywhere from one hour to all day. Adult group lessons are divided up by ability to ensure the best learning environment. Children's classes are divided up by ability and age and can be half day or full day. Telemark lessons and workshops are also offered daily.

Clinics and camps options include the Alta Youth Club, Ladies Day, Telemark Camp, Ultimate Groove Women's Camp, and Goddesses Off Trail Funshop. There is also the opportunity to ski with a ranger and learn about the local mining history, watershed, public lands and winter ecology.

Helicopter, snow cat and backcountry skiing should be arranged through a private guide service.

Some of these trips also offer ice and rock climbing as well and mountaineering. These services will teach you the basics of backcountry travel and safety as well as taking you to some of the best skiing in the Wasatch-Cache National Forest.
