Mambo to Meadow to Corkscrew is an intermediate ski run located at Alta Ski Area. The trails run from the summit of the Collins chairlift down to the Wildcat Base. The run begins to the skier's left of the top of the chairlift on Mambo, which takes a sharp turn to the right then to the left. The trail begins with a gentle pitch before entering a short but steep drop. At the intersection, it stays to the right continuing straight down the mountain featuring a series of dips and hills before arriving at a small runout near the Collins mid-station. After the mid-station, I stayed to the right to ski onto Meadow which crosses underneath the chairlift and features a gentle pitch. At the next intersection, I continued straight onto Corkscrew which features a steep and consistent pitch as it curves to the left, before arriving at the Wildcat Base.
Alta Ski Area is a ski area located in Alta, Utah. The resort is located in Eastern Salt Lake County, about a 40-minute drive southeast of Salt Lake City. The ski area is located at the end of Little Cottonwood Canyon and is one of two ski areas located in the canyon, the other being nearby Snowbird. Alta is well-known for its high snow totals, regularly seeing over 500 inches of snow each ski season, receiving the most snow of any ski area in Utah and some of the most snow of any ski area in the entire country. Alta is also famous for its advanced and expert terrain, including some extreme areas which require hiking to reach such as Devil's Castle. The resort also has plenty of high-quality intermediate runs off of every lift. Overall, Alta has little beginner terrain, all of which can be found off the Sunnyside Lift, however, the beginner terrain they do have has some striking views. Alta is one of three ski areas in the United States that does not allow snowboarding, the other two being nearby Deer Valley and Mad River Glen in Vermont. Due to the ski area's close proximity to Snowbird, skiers may ski between the two resorts, given they have an Alta-Bird Pass or ticket or an Ikon Pass. Alta is privately owned by multiple different families but is a partner on the Ikon Pass, granting full pass holders 7 days split between Alta and Snowbird. Alta is not included on the Ikon Base Pass, however, skiers can upgrade to the Ikon Base Plus Pass to receive 5 days of access at Alta, again, combined with Snowbird.
