Powder Mountain Resort

5,500 acres covering 3 mountains add up to the most skiable terrain in the nation!  With this much space, you never share any of the 114 runs with a crowd.  The resort is so massive that complimentary orientation tours depart daily at 10:00 AM.  

At Powder Mountain, only Mother Nature makes snow.  Who needs snowmaking with 500 inches each year?  Light, fluffy and dry is the snow you dream of.  Besides great powder, real snow produces beautifully groomed corduroy. 

Our name says it all!  Powder hounds can choose open bowls, groves of aspens or black pines, chutes or steep faces.  When other resorts are tracked out, it is still easy to find pristine conditions here. 

Not ready to try powder?  A large variety of runs are groomed nightly so that every level of skier and boarder joins in the fun.  There are a number of beginner trails 3 miles or longer in length.
