About the Snowboard and Ski Terrain

The resort has more than 8,000 acres of terrain that is skiable. Currently, there are nine lifts and 154 trails. The number of lifts and trails may be added with time, so we can’t say the figure won’t change over the years. There are also traditional lifts. Additionally, some zones are being services by snowcat shuttles and buses.

If you want to go skiing, there is a terrain for beginners, intermediate, and advanced skiers. A larger part of the terrain is suitable for advanced professionals. In the lift-served areas, the challenging steeps aren’t as many.

There are lift queues from time to time. A considerable part of the slopes is yet to be explored by riders and skiers. It would also take a considerable number of people to fill up the huge terrain. The ticket sales for the lifts are also capped. At Powder Mountain, the main focus is on quality and not quantity when it comes to powder skiing.

There is no need for snowmaking facilities at Powder Mountain. Annually, there are more than 500 inches of snowfall, and you’ll get to see why there is no need for artificial snow.

The mountains' storms are also ferocious, and there are instances when the lifts are out of service because of strong winds. The roads are also closed at some point until the snow has been cleared.

The village is more of a sleepy hollow, and it is currently underdeveloped refreshingly. With time there will be some significant changes since there are development initiatives in place. You’ll enjoy the quiet nature of the village, considering your main focus is on snowboarding and skiing.

While at Powder Mountain, you can choose to live in the vacation rentals or the condos. If you want to purchase tickets, you should do so a day before, considering the number of tickets sold daily is limited.
