Powder Country at Powder Mountain

Powder Country at Powder Mountain p: T. Roberts
Powder Country on a sunnier day. p: Tim Roberts
Powder Country is a an area at Powder Mountain in northern Utah that is known for lots of vert and lots of powder.  What a lot of people don't know is how to find it.  What also perplexes newbies once they find it is how to get back to the resort.  Powder Country exists above the road at Powder Mountain and is accessed by two lifts, either the Sundown or the Hidden Lake lifts can drop you near the top of either side of the road.  From there, you ski back down to the road, where you then board a bus that takes you back to the resort.  The entire lap takes about 20 minutes, but the terrain that is accessed is steep and deep and holds powder for a long time after a storm.  The bus is always full of happy skiers and boarders with powder eating grins stuck to their faces.

At the end of February, RideUtah.com made the brief trip up to Powder Mountain and we were rewarded with a driving snow storm filling up our tracks by the time we'd made the round trip back to the top.  It wasn't our first trip to Pow Mow and it certainly won't be our last.  Click the read more link to view the video.  The music is by Salt Lake City's own The Rubes .

Every morning The Canyons opens it's mountain early for a program called First Tracks that allows a few skiers and riders on the hill to experience resort skiing without the crowds. With no lift lines to slow you down, you're free to experience the ultimate in resort riding untracked powder and corduroy without having to race a hundred other stoked rippers to get it.  

On February 28th, 2007, RideUtah.com showed up for First Tracks at the Canyons and boarded the Flight of the Canyons Gondola at 7 a.m. for some fresh turns.  Luckily, the weather cooperated and after dropping two feet of snow the day before we were greeted by the sunrise and not a cloud in the sky.  Click the read more link to view the video.
