SHUTTLE ACCESS TO ALTA AND SNOWBIRD
The shuttle stop is located just outside the entrance to the Hellgate Buildings. The complimentary shuttle to both Alta and Snowbird runs daily from the last week of December to the first week of April.

INTERLODGE
Interlodge is a restriction on outdoor travel and activity ordered by the Alta Town Marshall. The Marshal's office, and/or Snowbird Safety, may require, at any time, that guests stay indoors until avalanche control and road danger is mitigated. Sometimes it involves the whole Alta/Snowbird area and sometimes just certain sections in the canyon. The Alta Town Marshall and Snowbird Safety work hard to keep everyone in the area safe with little disruption to outdoor recreation. These events are beyond our control in our winter playground. Usually, avalanche work commences in the early morning hours and is completed before the resorts open - but there are occasions when interlodge can be put into effect during the day and guests can be housebound for longer periods of time.

Great stay, great hosts

Had a great family ski trip. The staff at Hellgate were all kind, warm, helpful and snowsport afficionados to boot. They were a highlight of the stay. The skiing was great, condo was nice. Hot tub was surprisingly nice. Please be aware that there are about 50 stairs between the road/ski shuttle and some of the lower units, so the condo stay comes with some huffing and puffing, or a nice leg warmup if you are a "glass half full type," as we are!

We made good memories in this condo

This turned out to be a great choice for us. The staff at Hellgate -- Ryan, Annalise, Beth, and sorry I don't remember the name of the fourth, whom we only met briefly on our last day -- were all so helpful and considerate. Some days we drove the couple minutes to a resort parking lot, but often we took the very convenient local shuttle. We usually had lunch on the mountain and quiet evenings cooking dinner in the condo. I would also strongly recommend stopping at Utah Ski Gear in Sandy on your way from SLC airport to Hellgate. That was another lucky find. We had a great vacation and would love to return.

A pullout bed in the living room would be an excellent addition to unit so that four adults can sleep comfortably. Close proximity to the lifts at Alta & Snowbird.

We had a great experience staying at Hellgate Unit J! The condo itself was immaculate and the location and shuttle access to Snowbird could not be beat! The hot tub was great after a long day on the slopes! Amazing and helpful staff made our stay flawless.

Unique Ski Lodging close to Snowbird and Alta

Great lodging option close to Snowbird and Alta. We stayed during a snowstorm, which was awesome for skiing but created some grid lock around the ski areas, parking lots and highway. Be prepared to “interlodge” (stay indoors) during storms as they do avalanche control. Highway 210 at Hellgate was closed during our stay, which required us to access the condo through a “Road Closed” area from the bypass road. This road was not plowed so 4 wheel drive is mandatory. Condo was spacious, clean and well equipped. There is a washer dryer in the unit which is not necessarily the case for other Hellgate units. Boot dryers and humidifiers are available for use. The common hot tub was large and clean, with a small shower area. Not ski in / ski out but a clean, quiet and beautiful snowbound place to stay with just a short drive to ski.

Beautiful location

We wanted to be right between Alta and Snowbird to use our Ikon pass at both and found this little gem. The unit is spacious and has all the amenities that you could ask for including a washing machine to wash our clothes after a long day of skiing. We cooked every night and found ample kitchenware. The only wish would be if they had a Keurig to make coffee in a small amount vs buying a whole bag. The location was graced with fresh snow before we left and the view from the living room was simply amazing. So pretty to see the trees and mountains covered in fresh snow. The shuttle service was also great to get back and forth to the mountain and they had ski lockers so only one flight of stairs to traverse to get your gear stored. All and all a great find!

Great spot

We really enjoyed our stay in Hellgate unit J. The location is great, easy free shuttle bus to the hill, indoor parking spot, and the unit is comfy & well appointed. The walls/ceiling are a bit thin as we could hear other guests at times but it wasn’t too bad. Can’t beat being up in the canyon when snow comes. Perhaps the best part was the great/highly responsive customer service from the staff before and during our stay. Thanks.

Great getaway spot

This place is great! The building it’s in is a bit old and rundown but the condo itself is so nice and has great views! The private parking garage is a nice touch. Note: There are a lot of stairs and hallways you must traverse to get in and out, with no elevator, so be aware of that if you have special needs or small children.

Great access to snowbird and alta

We had an awesome stay here! The condo is really spacious (3 full bathrooms!) and clean. It's super close to snowbird and alta - we skied at both and had a blast. The only thing that we were unprepared for was the thin blinds in the bedrooms. The headlights from cars driving up the mountain shine into the rooms at night. So we used some extra blankets to hang from blinds to make it darker in the kids' room. Other than that, it was great and would definitely stay here again.

Many stairways to get to the unit

It is difficult to walk the steep stairways in ski boots with equipment. In addition in order to bring your luggage to the condo you have to go up and down multiple staircases. The condo has no place to hang jackets or to put the helmets, gloves, scarves, etc so it is not really designed for skiers. Plates and cups in the kitchen are few and mostly chipped.

Beautiful, and Easy

It's a corner unit, with direct views of Snowbird (to the left) and helicopter drops up Hellgate (to the right). While there was a need to take shuttles to the slopes each day, the staff was extremely quick, super cool and pleasant, and they only accentuated the stay. We will be staying there the next trip!
