The Adventure Center and Snow Sports School will continue their partnership with the GoSnow app, providing guests the ability to book instructors or guides online via your phone, with the ability to rate their experience.

Powder Mountain continues its commitment to be the most uncrowded major ski resort in North America by limiting ticket sales to 1,500 per day.
“Powder Mountain has always been a well-kept secret, known for wide-open terrain, an adventurous spirit and days of powder after a storm. With more people discovering Pow Mow every year, we had to do something radically different to preserve the Pow Mow experience. Restricting day tickets to 1,500 per day on 8,400 acres is a totally different model than the volume model we see becoming so common in today’s ski industry and demonstrates our absolute commitment to Preserving the Pow!” said Mark Schroetel, General Manager of Powder Mountain Resort. “In a further effort to maintain the Pow Mow experience, we cap Season Pass sales at 3,000. This is the first year we have sold out of passes prior to the season and highly encourage people to sign up for the waitlist to improve their chances of getting a pass next year” added Schroetel.
