Apres-Ski at the Peruvian Lodge
Food & DrinkEasyWinterSpring
Rub shoulders with local ski bums at the 'P-Dog' in Alta, known for free popcorn, cheap beer, and a legendary mountain atmosphere.
Itinerary tips
- 1Take the UTA Ski Bus Route 994 from Salt Lake City to the Alta Lodge stop to avoid the stress of canyon traffic and parking permits.
- 2Arrive between 3:30 PM and 4:30 PM to secure one of the coveted wooden tables before the post-lift-close rush.
- 3Pack a pair of comfortable lodge shoes or slippers in your backpack, as the P-Dog vibe is casual and clunky ski boots can be tiresome.
- 4Keep an eye out for the self-serve popcorn machine near the bar for the quintessential free snack that fuels every local après session.
- 5Bring a valid ID and a credit card, but carry some small cash tips for the hardworking bartenders during peak periods.
- 6Plan to stay for at least two hours to soak in the live music and stories from long-time Alta residents.
