Hellgate – Alta Snowbird Utah Condo Rentals

Alta Condos near to Resorts with Alpine Views

Hellgate Condos, named after the white cliffs which tower above them, sit between Alta and Snowbird resorts. These condos are incredibly close to both ski resorts, less than a mile to each, making them ideal for visitors who are looking to get the most out of their Utah vacation.

While renting a Hellgate condo, you can float in fresh Utah powder, spend spring afternoons watching Alpineglow dance across canyon walls, and discover summer solitude in mountain meadows full with fresh wildflowers.

Returning guests will be delighted to learn that the main entrance stairway has undergone recent renovations.

Beneath Hellgate’s high cliff walls, you will be energized by fresh mountain air, spectacular snow, and endless mountain adventures.

Located beneath the Hellgate Cliffs this location may experience Interlodge more often than other areas. Interlodge is a restriction on outdoor travel and activity ordered by the Alta Town Marshall. The Marshall’s office, and/or Snowbird Safety, may require, at any time, that guests stay indoors until avalanche control and road danger is mitigated. We work with all of our guests to ensure their safety and comfort during these times. Our Reservation Specialists are happy to talk with you about this and answer any questions you may have.

Staff will arrive shortly after your departure to inspect and thoroughly clean the vacation rental. All food and drink spills need to be cleaned up immediately. Food and drink spills on carpet and furnishings are considered damage (not normal wear and tear) and the cleaning for these will be covered by the Accidental Damage Coverage (if purchased).  Guest authorizes Canyon Services to charge the credit card on file for the cost of any damage over the $3000 limit or damage not covered by the Accidental Damage Coverage Policy.  Please use consideration and do not wear ski boots, golf cleats or spiked heels on inside floors.

Interlodge = Avalanche Control Work

  • Interlodge can occur when Little Cottonwood Canyon receives heavy snowfall in a short period of time, or when there’s a warming of the snow-covered cliffs in the spring and avalanche conditions are high. When Interlodge is declared by the Alta Marshal and or Snowbird Safety, guests are required by law to stay in their rental unit until the interlodge is lifted. Usually, avalanche control work is completed quickly, making it safe to be outdoors.
  • Interlodge can last from 2 – 12 hours, though can be longer than 48 hours.  Some condos are more likely to become interlodged than others.
  • Canyon Services will not be held liable for expenses incurred due to interlodge including transportation, additional and/or lost lodging, etc.

Groceries

It is important that you have provisions in the event of a road closure or interlodge.  Bring at least two days of groceries for each person in your party. ​The nearest grocery stores are in Salt Lake City over 30 minutes away.  Please use our Grocery Stores page to located a store that will work for you and for information.

Hot Tubs

Many of our Alta and Snowbird properties provide a hot tub for guest use. All hot tubs are cleaned and refilled prior to each guest arrival. Use at your own risk. Guests will be held responsible for any damage to the hot tub or hot tub cover. Canyon Services will not be held liable as a result of misuse of the hot tub. Drain and refill during a stay will incur an additional charge.

Keys

Keys may be obtained at the Operations Office located at the Village at Sugarplum. If keys go lost or missing, guests will be responsible for the charges to change the locks on the home.

Damage Deposit Protection

Mountain Environment

Recreation in a Mountain environment has inherent risks. In the winter, icy and snowy conditions on walkways, pathways, stairs and driveways in and around properties can pose a risk. Every effort is made to remove snow in the winter and make the premises as safe as possible, however, surfaces may remain slippery, walkways may collapse and snow may slide or fall from roofs. Icicles pose a serious hazard. Please wear boots and other appropriate footwear. Please do not allow children to climb on snow banks or play under the eaves of any structure. Playing in the snow anywhere around the rental properties is undertaken at the sole risk and responsibility of the Guest or the Guest’s invitees.

Property Unavailability

In the unlikely event that Canyon Services is unable to deliver use of a rented property, due to fire, eminent domain, acts of nature or other situations beyond our control, Canyon Services sole responsibility is to provide the use of a comparable rental unit.

Hold Harmless

Canyon Services assumes no liability for loss, damage, or injury of guests or guests’ invitees or their personal property. You hereby fully release and discharge Canyon Services Property Management and it’s homeowner(s) for all claims, damages, or causes of action by reason of injury or other cause, and hold Canyon Services and homeowner(s) free and harmless of any claim or suit arising from you and any other guest in connection with the occupancy of the premises. We accept no liability for stoppages of transportation, utility services, inclement weather conditions, or natural disaster that may occur before, after or during a vacation home rental period, nor can we be responsible for any other conditions beyond our control.
