Alta Transitioning From Spring to Summer
AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
Compared to the neighboring state of Colorado, Utah's skiing areas are located quite close to its major city (in the case of Utah, Salt Lake City). The closest of the ski resorts is Alta, which lies just a half hour or so drive to the southeast of SLC. The resort is situated in the Wasatch Mountains, a sub-range of the greater Rocky Mountain chain which covers much of the USA's west. In this drone video by Weatherman, you'll get a bird's eye view of the mountains around Alta as the winter transitions to spring.

Beautiful Alta and the high Wasatch Mountains in upper Little Cottonwood Canyon. The snow is melting, but some of it will stick around most of summer on the shady north slopes. Usually the heat does a number on the snow by now, but the hefty snowpack has lingered longer. Notice as we fly between Alta and Solitude/Brighton, Twin Lakes appear...full to the brim. It is an excellent water year so far!
