It is part of the Salt Lake City, Utah Metropolitan Statistical Area. The population was 383 at the 2010 census, a slight increase from the 2000 figure of 370. Alta is also the location of Alta Ski Area, a ski resort that has 500,000 visitors a year. It is known for its powder skiing and its decision to not allow snowboarding. History{{Refimprove section|date=July 2010}}Alta has been important to the development of skiing in Utah. Alta was founded about 1865 to house miners from the Emma mine, the Flagstaff mine, and other silver mines in Little Cottonwood Canyon. Sensationally rich silver ore in the Emma mine enabled its owners to sell the mine at an inflated price to British investors in 1871.[4] The subsequent exhaustion of the Emma ore body led to the recall of the American ambassador to Great Britain, who was a director of the company, and Congressional hearings in Washington.[5] An 1878 fire and an 1885 avalanche destroyed most of the original mining town, though some mining activity persisted into the 20th century. By the 1930s, only one resident, George Watson, remained in the town. Facing back taxes on mining claims he owned, Watson donated much of the land in Alta to the U.S. Forest Service. Watson stipulated that the Forest Service use the land to construct a ski area. In 1935, Norwegian skiing legend Alf Engen was hired to help develop the area, and Alta opened its first ski lift in 1938. Today, Alta is a small town, centered around the Alta Ski Area. GeographyAccording to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 4.1 square miles (10.5 km2), of which, 4.1 square miles (10.5 km2) of it is land and 0.25% is water. At {{convert|8950|ft}}, Alta is one of the highest cities in Utah, and one of the highest in America. Demographics{{stack|{{US Census population|align=right|1970= 93 |1980= 381 |1990= 397 |2000= 370 |2010= 383 |estyear=2016 |estimate=387 |estref=[6] |footnote=U.S. Decennial Census[7][8][9]}}}} As of the census of 2010, there were 386 people in 156 households in the town. The racial makeup of the town was 93 percent white and 4 percent Hispanic or Latino. The population was 67 percent male and 33 percent female. The population was 4.7 percent under the age of 18 and 2.6 percent was 65 or older. ClimateAlta experiences a high altitude humid continental climate (Köppen Dfb), which borders on a subalpine climate (Dfc), due to its high elevation. Due to its proximity to the Great Salt Lake, the town receives very heavy snows, averaging over {{convert|507|in|m}} per year. During the very wet season of 1982/1983, Alta received as much as {{convert|900|in|m}} of snow, leading to record flooding of Wasatch streams as the snow melted during May and June that year.[10] Alta's total precipitation of {{convert|108.54|in|mm|1}} during 1983 is a record for a calendar year in any state of the Mountain West;[11] strangely Villanueva only {{convert|675|mi|km|0}} away recorded only {{convert|0.91|in|mm|1}}, which is a record low for New Mexico,[11] in that same year. {{Weather box |location = Alta, Utah (Elevation 8,730ft) |single line = Y |Jan record high F = 57 |Feb record high F = 57 |Mar record high F = 65 |Apr record high F = 69 |May record high F = 76 |Jun record high F = 82 |Jul record high F = 86 |Aug record high F = 84 |Sep record high F = 79 |Oct record high F = 72 |Nov record high F = 64 |Dec record high F = 59 |year record high F = 86 |Jan high F = 30.2 |Feb high F = 31.2 |Mar high F = 34.7 |Apr high F = 41.3 |May high F = 51.9 |Jun high F = 63.4 |Jul high F = 72.2 |Aug high F = 70.5 |Sep high F = 61.5 |Oct high F = 49.0 |Nov high F = 36.6 |Dec high F = 31.1 |year high F = 47.8 |Jan mean F = 21.6 |Feb mean F = 22.7 |Mar mean F = 26.0 |Apr mean F = 32.6 |May mean F = 42.3 |Jun mean F = 52.3 |Jul mean F = 60.9 |Aug mean F = 59.5 |Sep mean F = 50.7 |Oct mean F = 39.6 |Nov mean F = 28.1 |Dec mean F = 22.7 |Jan low F = 13.0 |Feb low F = 14.1 |Mar low F = 17.2 |Apr low F = 23.8 |May low F = 32.6 |Jun low F = 41.2 |Jul low F = 49.6 |Aug low F = 48.5 |Sep low F = 39.9 |Oct low F = 30.1 |Nov low F = 19.5 |Dec low F = 14.2 |year low F = 28.6 |Jan record low F = −26 |Feb record low F = −19 |Mar record low F = −8 |Apr record low F = 1 |May record low F = 10 |Jun record low F = 20 |Jul record low F = 31 |Aug record low F = 30 |Sep record low F = 16 |Oct record low F = -1 |Nov record low F = −16 |Dec record low F = −25 |year record low F = −26 |precipitation colour = green |Jan precipitation inch = 7.07 |Feb precipitation inch = 6.26 |Mar precipitation inch = 6.70 |Apr precipitation inch = 5.59 |May precipitation inch = 3.86 |Jun precipitation inch = 2.02 |Jul precipitation inch = 1.62 |Aug precipitation inch = 1.98 |Sep precipitation inch = 2.59 |Oct precipitation inch = 4.11 |Nov precipitation inch = 5.47 |Dec precipitation inch = 6.71 |Jan precipitation days = 13 |Feb precipitation days = 13 |Mar precipitation days = 13 |Apr precipitation days = 11 |May precipitation days = 9 |Jun precipitation days = 6 |Jul precipitation days = 7 |Aug precipitation days = 8 |Sep precipitation days = 8 |Oct precipitation days = 9 |Nov precipitation days = 11 |Dec precipitation days = 13 |unit precipitation days = 0.01 inch |snow colour = |Jan snow inch = 82.7 |Feb snow inch = 75.3 |Mar snow inch = 80.1 |Apr snow inch = 60.4 |May snow inch = 26.8 |Jun snow inch = 4.8 |Jul snow inch = 0.0 |Aug snow inch = 0 |Sep snow inch = 4.3 |Oct snow inch = 30.6 |Nov snow inch = 62.8 |Dec snow inch = 80.0 |source 1 = Western Regional Climate Center[12] |date=April 2013 }} See also{{portal|Utah|Mining}}
