Powder Mountain

  • Weather: Partly Cloudy, 53F
Powder Mountain is the West's best-kept secret. Voted the "Top Ski Resort in the West" by Ski magazine and named in Time magazine’s Annual List of the World's Greatest Places, the resort lives up to its name by supplying 5,000+ skiable acres of uncrowded powder runs, delivering fresh tracks even days after a storm. The resort is 60 miles north of Salt Lake City International Airport and just over an hour away by car. The second half of the drive combines the Ogden River Scenic Byway with Powder Mountain Road, State Route 158, making the drive part of the journey. In 2016, the resort welcomed the addition of more than 1,000 new acres of terrain with two new chairlifts and capped day passes to keep the skier density low.

Resort Information

Who is Powder Mountain for?

It’s no surprise that Powder Mountain is great for powder hounds. With 5,000 acres of terrain covered in 360 annual inches of powder, Pow Mow is ideal for experts to challenge themselves and beginners to learn how to ski powder. Intermediate to expert skiers prefer runs off the Paradise lift, but beginners can find plenty of terrain at the Hidden Lake and Sundown lifts.

Guided Backcountry Skiing

If the phrase "Powder Safari" strikes your fancy, a backcountry tour of Powder Mountain is the season highlight you’ve been waiting for. Get into the sidecountry with a Powder Mountain guide who knows where all the sweet runs are. Venture into approximately 1,000 acres and a 3,000 vertical drop by taking a short hike up to James Peak. This awesome terrain includes huge, wide-open bowls, thick trees and steep chutes. Aren’t you glad you have a guide who knows it well?

Parking and Transportation

Free parking is available without reservation at the Timberline, Hidden Lake and Sundown base areas. Road conditions can get slippery during the winter – always follow canyon requirements, which may include clearance minimums, chains and 4WD. Help reduce traffic congestion by parking at the Eden Park n’ Ride lot and hopping on a UTA Ski Bus or complimentary Pow Mow shuttle (free for season pass holders). See more Utah ski vacation tips.

Night Skiing

Powder Mountain offers night skiing from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., exclusively at the Sundown Lift. All-night tickets are $24 for all ages and dates.

Restaurants and Places to Relax

Hidden Lake Cantina: Enjoy a south-of-the-border flair surrounded by panoramic views of four states. Perfect for burritos, nachos and grab-and-go Mexican fare.

Powder Keg: This Timberline Lodge pub features live music and a typical selection of beers and burgers, but with exciting recent menu updates — spicy tonkotsu ramen, miso ramen, and a kale caesar salad. 

Timberline Food Hall: Home to Powder Mountain's full-service cafeteria, this is where the Pow Mow community gathers to feast. Enjoy breakfast and lunch in the rustic Timberline Cafeteria with classic mountain fare and hearty portions to fuel your powder days.

Lucky Slice: Located inside Sundown Lodge, Lucky Slice serves award-winning New York-style pizza by the slice and whole pie. Perfect for night skiing sessions or quick refueling between runs.

North Fork Table & Tavern: Located in Eden, just minutes from the mountain, this upscale tavern offers mountain views and a refined après-ski experience.

Mobile Ordering: Powder Mountain's online food ordering system enables guests to order food on-the-go from their mobile phone. Order popular to-go menu items from the Powder Keg, Hidden Lake Cantina, Timberline Cafeteria and Lucky Slice Pizza for convenient pickup and outdoor dining.
