    Alta lift hours

    Didn't Alta used to open lifts at 8:45? This year they're showing 9:15. Hmph.

    Its always been 9:15 since I have been here, which is 3 winters. Lineup starts around 8am on some days though, maybe thats what you were thinking.

    9:15 since 95-96 ski season

    I worked at the P-dog 95-97 and the bull wheels turn at 9:15
    needless to say you gotta get there early and wait in order to get 1st chair

    8:45 is way late for first chair on any kind of a powder day. 9:15 gets you way out past the poly rope. at 8:45 you're still in the poly corral.

    Dude, you don't need to know lift hours. 5:30, LCC P&R is all you need to know. Then you'll be looking at the lift line up with this vantage.

    Beggers can't be choosers, either one would work for me.

    Yeah, guess so. Oh well. More trams for me this season!

    p.s. powstash, yes. But a lil' hike followed up with a tram lap or two doesn't hurt either
