Epic Day at Powder Mountain

Photo by Denny Montgomery

A message from Carolyn at Powder Mountain:

What an epic day at Powder Mountain!  I thought my skis were wide but not big enough for this much powder.  I went back to the shop to rent some a set of really wide demo skis!  What fun - lots of face shots. 

What could make the day more perfect?  Discounted lift passes.  An adult all day lift pass is $45.  If you are a local, in the military or have a season pass at another resort, you only pay $40. 

Weatherman says there is more to come.

It's No April Fool's Joke - It was a Great Powder Day!

Howdy and Rich enjoy the white stuff at Snowbasin.

Did You Hear? But "Don't Mention It" at Powder Mountain!


Powder Mountain is now offering guided tours to Wolf Canyon, known locally as DMI (Don't Mention It). Wolf Canyon encompasses approximately 1,000 skiable acres and has a 3,000 foot vertical drop for anyone willing to take a short hike up to James Peak, the resort's highest peak. Well worth it!!
