Green Initiatives
Powder Mountain Resort is pleased to announce our continued partnerships with Mizu Water Bottles and POW (Protect Our Winters).

As one the first resorts to cap day and season passes, Powder Mountain is a one of a kind resort hanging its hat on skier experience, adventure and an unprecedented mountain modern village development. With the addition of two new lifts last year, the throwback mom and pop style resort boasts the most skiable acreage in North America with 8,464 acres. Preserving the Pow Mow experience is made possible by capping day passes at 1,500 daily and adult season passes at 1,500 yearly, which allows for an average of three acres per skier.
