Powzilla Debuts At The Ogden Valley Balloon Festival

Powzilla made its debut at the 14th annual Ogden Valley Balloon Festival. Always a fun time, the balloon festival features balloon launches, arts and craft booths along with live entertainment over an entire weekend.

Powder Mountain sponsored a booth selling season passes, providing information about the resort, and of course promoting summer tours of Powder Mountain on the famed "Powzilla".
The appropriately named "Powzilla" is an off-road, 4x4 vehicle that will allow summer tours of Powder Mountain not accessible by regular vehicles. Other than the spectacular views, beautiful meadows, wildflowers, and wildlife Powder Mountain has to offer in the summer, a ride on Powzilla is just plain FUN!

Reservations are required and can be made through Wolf Creek Adventures by calling 801-745-2000 or email adventures@wolfcreekresort.com

Spring Session Pictures

A Powder Mountain tradition! This event is the highlight of the freestyle season. It was a party, pipe jam, rail jam, barbeque, and DJ battle rolled into one. Family fun for all ages and abilities.

This year, we had a good turnout with even a band and ski demos weathering the snow coming down. A big thanks to all that attended as well as 4Frnt Skis for coming out!
