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.

Run Highlights

Advanced Super Loop
Part of the ski adventure is all about how to link trails together to get maximum coverage. For advanced skiers, start at the Hidden Lake Lodge (at Powder Mountain, you can drive to the top) and ski down Powder Country to the shuttle, which will take you to the Sundown lift. From there, it’s a free hike to the top of Lightning Ridge. Zip down any of the wealth of black diamond runs to connect with the Paradise lift. At the top, it’s one more run over to the Hidden Lake lift, which brings you back to the starting point.

Easier Super Loop
Start with your advanced skier pal, split up for some individual fun and rejoin each other at the starting point. For a sweet ride with great views, begin at Hidden Lake and ski down East 40 to the Sunrise lift. If you haven’t used a Poma lift, here’s your chance to learn. At the top of Sunrise, pause for a moment to take in the view. When ready, hit Sunrise Ridge to Cat Walk to Cobabe Canyon. This canyon trail runs along a four-season creek, which you don't get every day when skiing or riding. At the bottom, catch the Paradise lift, ski Gateway and Burntwood to the Hidden Lake lift and meet your pal.
