Took the 990 Bus at 7:30 from Hotel. System works very well you can send a text to the UTA with your stop and they will respond with time for next bus to your location. Also Google maps tracks the same information you can get status updates there.
Met a Mexican national Jorge who helped give us some background on bus and Alta. He skiied Alta the day before and helped us by telling us to goto the 2nd Alta stop for the Albion Base which is less crowded than the first stop, Wildcat Base.
We got our Super Pass the day before which was a great deal.
The Super Pass allows you to ski all four ski resorts on the Cottonwood Canyon side (Alta, Snowbird, Solitude, and Brighton). It also includes a free UTA service up to those resorts.
We got the 4 day pass for the two of us. That worked out to be $74 per day. Which was cheaper than the 4 day pass we could get if we only skiied Alta.
We skiied most of the mountain on Saturday (12/19) going up Sunnyside, Supreme, Cecret. Very different from Taos as the runs are a lot longer becuase they start steep and then flatten out and then have small hills to help gain speed back.
We had good powder and not a lot of people on the mountain.
