What is mobile IV therapy in Alta?
It began about 1865 as a town for silver miners, and a fire in 1878 and an avalanche in 1885 destroyed most of it. The ski area opened its first lift on January 15, 1939, and it is still for skiers only.
Alta has no resort hotels, only lodges at the base of the ski area. The Good Life IV sends a registered nurse up the canyon to your room at Alta, or next door at Snowbird. The nurse checks your health first, then the drip runs about 45 to 60 minutes.

Why people in Alta book an IV
Interlodge days
When avalanche danger is high, the Alta Marshal can order interlodge, and nobody travels outside. The canyon road closes with it. If an order lands on your visit, we set a new time with you.
Deep snow, tired legs
Alta Lodge puts the average at 547-plus inches of snow a year. A few powder days in a row wear you out, and The Athletic Performance IV can come to the lodge.
