Powder Mountain Ski Resort
Powder Mountain was named for one reason and one reason only. The place is full of light and fluffy Utah powder snow. We all know that Utah says they have the Greatest Snow On Earth ™ (which we here at SnowStash 100% agree with) and if you are on the hunt there is no better place than Powder Mountain Ski Resort.
Powder Mountain is one of two major ski resorts in Ogden Utah and is a short 35-minute drive up into the mountains. The other ski resort in Ogden Utah is Snowbasin ski resort which is famous for hosting many of the 2002 Olympic events.
Sitting high in the Wasatch Mountains, Powder Mountain ski resort in Utah offers up 8,484 acres of terrain which makes this ski resort the largest single resort in North America. Around 3,000 acres of this terrain is the traditional lift-serviced part of the resort and the remaining 5,000 acres is a wild nirvana where powder hunters find those untouched stashes of fresh Utah powder snow.
One unique factor of Powder Mountain is they cap the number of riders allowed into the resort each day to 1,500. They are the only mountain resort in Utah to offer this and means that they can maintain some of the most incredible Utah skiing. A limited number of riders means no lift lines, fresh tracks late into the afternoon and even into the next day where you can enjoy endless powder refills and untouched corduroy. Many locals to the Ogden Utah region prefer to get a season pass to Powder Mountain to ensure they can get on the lifts and maintain that powder fix all season long.
Many other ski resorts in Utah have more lifts, steeper chutes, or more perfect groomers. Powder mountain is not out there to compete with man-made aspects, they are all natural with only 9 lifts and tonnes of fresh Utah powder.
