(Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune) Pre-season skiers head for Alta's slopes and fill the parking lot of Goldminer's Daughter, Nov. 10, 2021. Alta Ski Area announced in that it would charge $25 for parking in its lots on weekends and holidays this season. The Town of Alta backed off joining the ski area in that plan, at least temporarily, which has made the area a jigsaw of permitted and unpermitted parking.
