With 5,500 acres covering three mountains, Powder Mountain adds up to the most skiable
terrain in the US.
With this much space, you won't share any of the
113 runs with a crowd. Only Mother Nature makes snow at Powder
Mountain. With 500 inches each year, why bother with artificial snow?
Besides great powder, real snow makes beautifully groomed corduroy.
Find out why we say More Fun, Real Snow! We are renowned for untracked
powder, but a large variety of runs are groomed nightly so that every
level of boarder and skier joins in the fun.
