Powder Country on a sunnier day. p: Tim Roberts

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 .

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.

Riding the Cat at Pow Mow p: T. Roberts

This just in: New for the 2006/2007 season, Powder Mountain has a new Snow Cat with a heated cab.  No more hanging off the rope.  Ride in style to some of the deepest powder in Utah.

Ken Perko digs his swallow tail in deep at Solitude: P: T. Roberts

On a powder day you can ride three of Solitude's lifts to access the goods in Honeycomb Canyon, Eagle Express, Powderhorn, or Summit.  Once at the top, choose a gate.  Chances they all hold a cache of deep powder snow.  

 To get to the head of Honeycomb Canyon, ride the Sunrise lift from the base, then race over to the Summit chair.  At the top you'll be treated to an awe-inspiring view of the canyon.  The Honeycomb cliffs rise high above the resort.  If you're there early, drop straight in from the top and be treated to a near two mile run through the gut of the canyon until you find your way to the new Honeycomb Quad.  In years previous, before the new chair, you would have to traverse out of the canyon, but now, thanks to the new chair, your wisked out of the canyon without having to unstrap.
