Lightning Ridge or Raintree Snowcat Skiing

One of Powder Mountain's greatest assets, the Lightning Ridge Snowcat will take you to the top of Lightning Ridge with very little effort. Once on top you will access over 700 challenging acres of pristine powder snow with an impressive 2100' vertical drop.

Access to James Peak and the adjacent powder bowls and chutes are an additional 20-30 minute hike from the top of Lightning Ridge.

Raintree, in Cobabe Canyon, will be offered when conditions are favorable.  The snowcat in this area will be offered at times as an additional area or as a substitution for Lightning Ridge.  Signs will be erected at the top of Sunrise Lift when the snowcat is operating in this area.  You may also ask about the status at any ticket window.  Lightning Ridge passes willbe valid for Raintree.

Snowcat Sunset Safari

The guided tours take guests to mountain peaks between 8,600 and 9,100 feet all with unobstructed views of Ogden Valley, the Wasatch Mountains and beyond to the Unita Mountain Range.  The tour will culminate with alfresco dining while watching the sun set over the Wasatch Mountains.  On the return trip, moonlight turns the snow covered slopes into a shimmering wonderland adding a romantic touch to the adventure.  This is a great way to introduce the non-skier to the beauty of Powder Mountain and for those familiar with our mountain a chance to experience a part of the mountain few have seen before.  

Tours depart from the Mountain Adventure Center at Powder Mountain one and a half hours prior to sunset. The cost is $75 for adults and $25 for children 12 and younger.  Reservations are required.  Tours are limited to four to 10 guests.  Arrangements can be made for private parties and customized tours.  Tours are subject to weather and snow conditions and availability. Call 801-745-3772 for more information and reservations.
