This Often-Overlooked Utah Ski Area Is the Nation’s Largest
Located in Utah, Powder Mountain is a ski destination with a unique blend of charm, terrain, and abundant snow. It stands out in the 2024-25 season due to its unconventional approach of changing to a semi-private mountain. Three chair lifts will be closed to the public, providing exclusive access to private home sites, compensated by a new lift granting access to the previously snowcat-only Lightning Ridge. There will be 11 lifts in total.
A Wonderful Ski Area
For people who seek the pleasure of staying on a mountain, Powder Stays offers modern vacation rentals with full kitchens and ski-in, ski-out convenience. The Horizon neighborhood adds a touch of design flair to the lodging experience. Alternatively, the Edelweiss Bed & Breakfast, which is located in Nordic Valley, offers a quieter escape with newly remodeled suites, each featuring private entrances and outdoor spaces.
The neighboring Nordic Valley Ski Resort provides additional opportunities for night skiing and snow tubing at Wasatch Parc. Wolf Creek Resort, managed by Wolf Creek Rentals, provides well-stocked vacation rentals just a 15-minute drive from the ski area. When considering dining out, Powder Keg, housed in Pow Mow's main lodge, Timberline, serves ramen, chicken wings, and healthy options, earning its reputation as the go-to spot.
