The Verdict
Alta is significantly larger with 2x the skiable terrain, making it ideal for multi-day trips where you want variety without repeating runs. Both are on the Ikon Pass, so pass holders can ski either without additional tickets. Consider your priorities: terrain size, snow quality, or convenience. Each factor may point to a different choice.
