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

I booked a room for three nights only to find out the following day that I would have to change rooms after the first night. When I complained about the inconvenience they told me to find a room somewhere else. They were dishonest about the booking and inconsiderate on the phone. What a lousy way to do business. I will...

It is not the intention of the Goldminer's Daughter Lodge to mislead people. This reservation was made online for President's Weekend. Each online reservation is reviewed by a front desk staff member. Upon reviewing the reservation it was discovered that while there was a room available for each night, it would not be the same room. Within 24 hours of... More

And that's a good thing. We're serious skiiers and we don't need a lot of fussy creature comforts. GMD provides the basics for expert skiiers who need to be close to the lifts, lots of rest and good, simple food. It's not about the hotel, it's all about the mountain. And GMD rises to that occasion. Regulars like us are... More

Goldminer's was the perfect place to stay and ski at Alta. My dad and I absolutely love to ski and Goldminer's is the ideal lodge for people like us - those who want to get up, ski all day, effortlessly walk the few steps back to the room, and relax. The location is perfect, and the lodge has a ski... More
