I have stayed in the Hellgate Codominiums in the past. Great location and clean. I have always enjoyed the limited number of units and the natural feel of the location. The Unit A was well equipped and cozy. It is somewhat dated but the beds and living room couches were comfortable and homelike. I would recommend this condo the a family of four and max six. The kitchen was well equipped and efficient. I would definitely stay there again. Unfortunately the snow was sparse and did not deliver as Utah has in the past.
Great location. On the bus route between Alta and Snowbird, just a few minutes away from each. The condo is spacious and well cared for. We found the kitchen stocked with everything we needed, including coffee and spices. (Pro tip - don't buy coffee filters! There are plenty of those already in the cabinet)Communications with the owner were clear and responsive. Overall, a great stay and a fantastic overall experience.
Great location & easy access to the slopes, just hop on the shuttle.

Thank you Leslie! We're glad you enjoyed the large community Hot Tub down the stairs. Alta is a great community that offers World Class Skiing and we are glad to share it! iTrip Vacations SLC
A perfect stay near Alta with covered parking that avoids all morning and evening traffic. Hot tub was a big hit after full ski days

Awesome review! So glad you enjoyed our little "Powder Roost" at the Hellgate Condo complex. We love the location as well. The shuttle service makes everything so much simpler when roads and traffic can be a headache! Come again! iTrip SLC
Traditional mountain condo perfectly situated right in between both awesome resorts. Large parking garage allowing clearance for my truck (7+ft). Jeff was very helpful and responsive as host.

Decent stay
Clean and comfortable for what we needed. Would have been nice to have a little outdoor furniture on the deck. Beds were comfortable as were pillows. Warn guests with mobility issues about lots of stairs!

Thanks Kim! There are lots of stairs at the Hellgate Condo Complex as it is practically situated on a cliff. We are glad you found our beds and pillows comfortable! We bought new linens this year and try to keep them refreshed for our guests. We work hard to have a clean place for our guests to stay in. I will recommend outdoor furniture to the owner, however, in the Winter the outdoor space has TONS of snow and so outdoor furniture has never been a priority. Thanks again for staying with us!
Property was ok, but not great. Sort of expected that. It was quite confusing to book a place through VRBO and then iTrip takes over part way through the process. You guys should be more up front about that.

Thank you for your feedback, Tod. We appreciate you choosing to stay at Alta: Hellgate A Powder Roost. We understand that the booking process can sometimes be confusing, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We are continuously working to improve our communication and make the process as seamless as possible for our guests. We hope you enjoyed your stay overall and would love the opportunity to host you again in the future.
Great location for Alta or Snowbird. Free shuttle was wonderful. Sleeps 6 adults easily. Lots of stairs to get down to the condo, made unloading the car exhausting. Boot up room benches, hooks & shelves was a great area to store ski gear, gloves, helmets etc in one place.
We had a great stay. The property manager that was onsite, Ryan, was super helpful. He helped us get our vehicle stuck out of the snow. We would definitely come back. Only suggestion would be to provide a bin for recycling. Thanks!

Thank you for staying at the Powder Roost at the Hellgate Condo Complex! We are so glad Ryan could help you out - navigating the snow can be tricky sometimes but we treat everyone like family up there. As far as the recycling bin, there is a big one right outside our door for our guests to use. Maybe you didn't realize it though - we appreciate your business and hope you come again! iTrip SLC
The condo is in an older building but it worked well for our family stay at the start of the summer season (4 adults and 2 children). Had everything we needed. There are quite a few stairs to reach the condo with your belongings so would be difficult for those with mobility issues. Was nice to have designated garage space, although it is tight if have a larger vehicle. Overall we enjoyed our stay in this condo.
Location is great for skiing between Alta and Snowbird resorts. Shuttle makes its easy to get to both resorts and runs every 30 minutes. Condo is comfortable and had all we needed for cooking at home. Important to shop in SLC before coming up mountain since no close stores to shop for food. We were there during big storm which dumped 2 feet of snow so was difficult to leave the area. Property managers were great with communication and helping dog out our vehicle from snow. Condo itself is comfortable but not luxurious. Kitchen well stocked for cooking and baking. Enjoyed our stay and loved the location and ability to get to skiiing quickly!
Good floor plan, accommodates gatherings well while providing privacy if wanted. Great location for hiking in Little Cottonwood. Covered parking for one car is a plus. Onsight manager responsive and helpful. Need to be able to negotiate several flights of stairs from the parking area to access the unit. Would not recommend for people with disabilities or mobility issues.

Shirley, We are so grateful to have you stay with us. We love hiking in Little Cottonwood Canyon as well. The condo is in a great location in the canyon. There are stairs to be able to access the condo. We hope to have you come and stay with us during the ski season and take advantage of the free ski rental and winter time activities.
