NEW!! 4 x 4 Adventure Tour at Powder Mountain

Powder Mountain mechanics, Roger Arave and Evan Miller, designed and built the off-road vehicle so that it could climb the steep and rocky terrain that serves as ski slopes during the winter months. 42 inch tires, a full roll cage and a canvas top in case of inclement weather provide a comfortable and safe excursion for guests. Incredible views, conquering steep slopes, and seeing wildlife in their native habitat create a memorable experience.

The guided tours will take guests to spectacular sites with amazing views over the 10,000+ acres within the resort that would otherwise be inaccessible to the public by vehicle. It is a great excursion to check out fall colors in the Wasatch Mountains. Each three-hour tour will be custom tailored to meet the desires of the individual guests and to take advantage of the changing scenery, wildlife, and weather. Typical areas to be explored include Lightning Ridge, Cobabe Canyon and Three Mile Trail to Hidden Lake. The overlook into Ogden Valley from the south end of the property includes all of Ogden Valley, the Great Salt Lake, Uintah Mountains, Wyoming, Idaho and Nevada.

Reservations are required and can be made by calling Wolf Creek Adventures at 801-745-2000 or emailing adventures@wolfcreekutah.com

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!

Steamboat Powdercats

When developing the new guided snowcat excursion this season, Rod Kelly turned to the website of the well established Steamboat Powdercats. The company operates on 10,000 acres of permitted snowcat terrain on Buffalo Pass and has an excellent reputation in the industry.

Rod Kelly, Powder's Operations Manager was stunned when Kent Vertrees, Master of Chaos for Steamboat Powdercats, called to arrange a year-end party for the staff of 14!

On the first day, the group of powerful skiers and enthusiast chanters explored the resort from top to bottom. They started the day with Lightning Ridge snowcat and ended out of bounds on the Powder Snowcat Safari. In between, they searched for freshies off every lift, in Cobabe Canyon and in Powder Country. At the end of the day, they adjourned to the Powder Keg to share tales pow and to reward their guides, Phil and Steve.

Thanks for choosing Powder Mountain!

Snowcat Powder Safari

The morning starts with a safety orientation followed by a snowcat ride to over 1,000 acres of exclusive bowls, glades and chutes for a day gliding on untracked snow...

The Snowcat Powder Safari is new to the 07/08 season at Powder Mountain. Reservations can be done online to reserve a spot today or after the mountain closes. That's right, after Powder Mountain closes for the season, the Powder Safari will give you the opportunity to continue the ski season as you trek to untouched snow. This will be an experience that you will not soon forget.

This time of year, the Powder Safari turns into the "corn harvest". With the amazing "corn powder" that forms with the temperate weather, the Powder Safari will allow you to have a whole new appreciation of Spring skiing. You haven't truly skied powder until you you've skied "corn powder" on the Powder Safari. Should be a bountiful harvest of fresh Powder Mountain Corn!
