The hotel is right by the lifts at Alta. The hotel only offers rooms with breakfast and dinner included and in season this is expensive. That said, it is worth it to wake up actually in the mountains and walk a few steps across the snow to the lifts. The ski hire shop is in the hotel building. Our room... More

GMD is a skiers lodge, at the base of the hill. Ski in and ski out. Rooms are rustic. Building needs upgrading. Room rate includes a full, amazing breakfast. Dinners are excellent. Several options for entrees. Mahi mahi and wild salmon entrees very good. Wait staff is friendly. The current female manager runs a "tight ship" but takes no attitude... More

I have stayed at the GMD twice, each of the last two years. I believe it is a pleasant atmosphere and the staff is great, The food is good and the location is as good as it can be. The value is very good. If you want Deer Vally you are in the wrong spot however. This is a great... More

I've come to realize that what irritates me most are those hotels that pretend to be what they are not, but charge a room rate commensurate with their pretensions. GMD is a happy exception. They were upfront when I booked the room noting that GMD was "just a ski lodge." That sounded great to me. Location was a perfect 100'... More

IThe beauty of Alta and its skiing is Legendary. The GMD has been a legend at Alta since Jim & Elfrieda Shane built the place to lodge the true skier's of the day. You will always find great Storyteller's in the Bar at the end of the day. The GMD will make you feel like family the very first time... More

This lodge is only 100 feet from the chair lift. It has a rustic feel to it.. One big dining room surrounded by windows to look out. One bar. For $250 a night you get a room and breakfast and dinner are included. Its a good deal. of course you must remember,Alta's motto is "its all about the skiing." The... More

We stay at Goldminers whenever we go to Alta which is almost every year. Rooms are so-so but the staff, restaruant and location more than make up for those shortcomings. Ski in/ski out, ski shop, gift shop, cafe, bar, afternoon tea, gourmet restaurant, game room, hot tub, spa for massages and mani/pedi's! Fireplace and free wifi in the lobby. More

A friend of mine and I stayed at Goldminer's Daughter last week for four nights and it was great. Very convenient location right next to the Collins lift, and good food at the inclusive breakfast and dinner. Also enjoyed the indoor hot tub, game room, and spa for a massage. The staff was the friendlest I've ever experienced, always willing... More

just back from 4 day/4 night stay at GMD. Arrived on Monday (1/31) to 18" of fresh powder. GMD is PERFECT for the skier who is looking to ski a great mountain. First time to Alta and I love this place. High Traverse, Alf's Rustler, Supreme Chair are all great runs. The staff at GMD are great people, very friendly.... More
