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 Marshal 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 for a family of four or a small group. Bring your own coffee. A coffee pot was provided but there was no coffee in the unit. The condo manager is a wealth of knowledge. If it is your first time staying in the canyon be sure to take the time to have a chat with him when you check-in. This condo is located on the upper bypass road. Avalanche mitigation can cause inter lodge. We were forced to stay inside our unit for a short period longer than the rest of the area. This caused parking at Snowbird to completely fill up before we were able to get there and then we were in over an hour line for the tram. Book parking way in advance of your trip to avoid issues at Snowbird. There is an easy shuttle to Alta but Snowbird transportation can be a bit more difficult according to the other guests in the condo. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Great Place
The size of the place and the location was perfect for my wife and I, and our 2 teenage sons! The shuttle was super easy and quick - we never waited more than 2 minutes to get picked up. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Alta and Snowbird are great places to ski! The hot tub was a nice touch after a day of skiing. It was also nice to order our groceries ahead of time from Alta Provisions and the place was stocked when we got there! There were a couple of things that need attention in the condo - none of the bathroom fans worked and the thermostat in the master bedroom got stuck one night and it got very hot. The dishwasher leaked when we ran it - we just put a towel under it and it was fine. But otherwise, we would happily stay there again!

Great Location! Great Condo
As this was the first trip to Utah, so I was unsure what to expect. We arrived (driving) from Denver around 2:00 in the afternoon and called to inquire about an early check-in which they were more than willing to accommodate since our unit was already clean. During check in they explained everything we needed to know (including things both in the unit and common areas). They also set us up in the garage parking space that would permit us to park without having to take the ski box off the top of the car which I thought was great! (We even ended up leaving the car parked the whole time we were there and just using the shuttle.) The shuttle service that Hellgate uses is great,dropping you off both at Snowbird and Alta both during the ski day as well as in the evening. The unit itself was a bit outdated/older, but the furniture and beds were nice and comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked, I believe I even saw a crock pot. The upstairs bedroom was nice an enclosed (vs a loft) and was great to have 2 full bathrooms for our visit. we also really enjoyed the fireplace.

Best option within Alta
This unit was great to stay in. It was spacious and comfortable, exactly as shown in the listing. The location is fantastic, right in between Snowbird and Alta. There is a free shuttle you can call to take you anywhere around, which we did not appreciate when booking. The location is seriously great.
The garage can be a bit tricky to drive in and out of when it snows as it gets very slippery and there are stairs down to the unit. Not a problem for us, but renters should be aware.

Great Location
Great spot right between Snowbird and Alta!
Public transport to Snowbird is a tiny bit difficult since the closest stop is only going up canyon to Alta. But the Alta shuttle is there for you.

not great for families
we got in really late at night, and unfortunately, realized our car was too big fro the garage. This was something that could have been specified. There was a parking lot against the area but was full. at 11pm at night, with kids, and the office empty, we realized this wasn't going to work and had to get a hotel. We had no where to park and had no clue what to do as it was our first time here.
we also found the place to be incredibly dark. You share a entry way with everyone so with covid be wary as your skis and hallway is shared.

Perfect
We had the best week staying at Hellgate Condos and skiing Alta and Snowbird. The perfect size condo, the convenience of the Alta shuttle to bring you to and from the mountains. The view of the mountain from the condo was so beautiful!! We had a garage to park our car which was great. Being able to do laundry downstairs was a big plus! Friendly staff and shuttle drivers, made our stay that much better! We would highly recommend staying here for a ski vacation!!

Excellent location, Clean Condo!
We (3 gals on a ski trip) loved our stay at Hellgate E. The condo is very clean and well-appropriated with all the things we needed. We had plenty of towels for hot tubbing and showers. The kitchen also had everything we needed including common seasonings. We crock-potted our dinners. (The “low” setting ran warm, so add a bit extra liquid.). The condo smelled great when we returned home.
The Alta shuttle is awesome - as is the mountain. The condo is just down the road from Alta’s Wildcat base, and the drivers all arrived in 10 minutes or less. After you call for pickup, it’ll take that long to gather your skis, gloves, helmets, lock up, and hike the stairs up to the road. NOTE. The condo is on a cliff. You’ll descend 2+ flights to the office/entrance and climb them (obviously) to get to the road.
The shuttle to Snowbird (also an amazing mountain) was a short 10 minute wait also... just ask the driver where to pick you up on the way home. We ended up taking the “city” bus to Alta, and then getting on the trusty Alta Shuttle for a ride to the condo.
The skiing is fabulous, and the shuttles worked great. We did not have (or want) a car.
We did experience Interlodge one day of our stay. Interlodge was a new word for us this trip! This is explained on the condo’s description, and we were aware. 16” of snow overnight and a blizzard created the situation, but we had plenty of food, the hallmark channel, snow angel-making, and our iPads to keep us busy.
The views from the condo are lovely - we hiked the stairs to get some awesome sunset shots the night before the storm.
Fred, the property manager, welcomed us, and was available when we needed him for “Interlodge” questions.
We pre-ordered all our food (breakfasts, snacks, dinners) from the grocery store and picked up (as well as a liquor stop) on the way to Hellgate (via canyon transport). We’re used to the mountain villages of Park City, Breck, Winter Park, Big Sky, etc. But this area is different. - limited on on-mountain apres ski. We loved coming home after skiing and staying “in” for food.
Great experience. Would definitely visit again.
Also... these mountains are no joke. Start your leg lifts and squats now. Seriously.

Hellgate E
Location and access to Alta/Snowbird was great. The shuttle was convenient and the drivers were very personable and prompt. Condo was not as nice as pictured in listing. Bathrooms are very basic. Kitchen needs some Tupperware or other food storage containers. Management didn’t communicate much and wasn’t real friendly. Hot tub was great.

Fantastic summer vacation
We had a great time and will definitely be back. The kitchen was super competently stocked - the best I have ever seen in a vacation rental. It had absolutely everything we could have ever wanted or needed. Room and bed arrangement is very comfortable, and the surroundings are of course stunning.

Well maintained, comfortable, very well equipped and large condo made our stay enjoyable. 13” of snow on May 18th made it special.
