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.

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 .
