Overall

4.8

Powder Mountain in Utah is just like its name – a haven for powder skiers. Powder Mountain feels private, uncrowded, and unbelievably special as they limit ticket sales to 1,500 skiers a day! Powder is owned by The Summit Group, an organization of brilliant business minds, tech startup entrepreneurs, billionaires, artists and band members that purchased Powder Mountain Ski Resort in Eden Utah in 2013. This impressive group of startup owners, nature goers, and party throwers have unveiled their Powder Summit ski village concept, but the ski area will continue to be authentic, all natural snow. It is humble but huge – 8,400 ac including 2,876 lift served acres (9 lifts total) plus 507 ac cat skiing (at $25 a ride) and 5,081 ac accessed by a hike or served by shuttle bus when you ski beyond the lifts. You get the drift, Powder is special and has been since 1972.

Powder Mountain might be my favorite place in Utah. It's very local friendly, has great atmosphere, the people that ride there are outstanding, and typically is never crowded. Overall not the steepest or most challenging but has some great stuff if you're willing to hike or pay a bit extra for the cat ride. Time a powder day and you'll be stoked... More

When i first showed up to the resort i was greeted by a staff member and directed where to buy lift tickets. When we were ready to go a guide asked if we have ever been there and i never have. He then had us follow him to show us around and the bar and the tlreaort was tons of fun many great people... More

I don't really know or care about the lodging or apres ski activities. All I care about is skiing and Powder Mountain has consistently good skiing. It's not the biggest. It's not the steepest. But it is consistently good.... More

no town - not much cheap lodging, long drive from airport but not real bad, some great off piste skiing, needs base lodge music entertainment and apre ski scene - currently there is not much at the base area. Lift tix are not too expensive. Great snow, not crowded, lots of terrain options if you know your way around the mountain but much of it is... More

This is a throwback; something truly special. The snow is deep when it dumps and untracked for a while. Powder Country, and the bus ride, are one of a kind. Access to the freshies from both sides of the road (makes no sense till you're here to ski and experience). Won't get huge vert due to lifts, but all quality. Plus, if you're feeling it, take... More

No matter how packed it is, you can always find a place where you will see absolutely no one in the back country, or even right off the trail. This is by far the best resort in Utah by an avalanche!... More

Powder Mountain is a nice down home resort without all the touristy bullshit. Prices were reasonable and people friendly. I hope it stays as it is. If people want high prices and pampering they can go to the Park city area.... More

If your looking for some fresh days after a storm, this place is it! It doesn't have the steeps you'll find at other places, but it has a vast amount of terrain! If you are looking for more fun take a snow cat ride on lightning ridge for more fun and access.

Slow lifts, no grooming, no snowmaking, no crowds, great snow, powder doesn't get tracted out in a couple of hours.

When I went earlier this year it snowed just perfectly the day before skiing. It wasn't too crowded, and the lift ticket wasn't outrageous. We had enough terrain for a variety of levels of skiers and snowboarders.
