Even on the busiest day, you may only find one skier per two acres of terrain at Powder Mountain. During the first half of the 20th century, Powder Mountain was the winter range for Frederick James Cobabe’s sheep. Now it is one of the largest ski ares in the United States. Located just east of Eden, Utah, Powder Mountain is a not-so-well-kept secret among locals and visitors alike.
On January 15, 1939, Alta Ski Area opened the second chairlift in the country – the Collins Lift. A ticket for the lift that first season was .25 cents.
With a spectator stadium large enough for 10,000 people, Deer Valley hosted several events during the Salt Lake 2002 Winter Olympics – including freestyle aerials and moguls.
In 1936, members of the Wasatch Mountain Club installed a rope tow at Brighton, creating one of the first lift-served ski areas in the country.
At a time when only 7% of the nation’s ski areas permitted snowboarding, Powder Mountain threw open the gates and became one of Utah’s first snowboard-friendly ski resorts. By the end of the decade, Powder Mountain was hosting some of the state’s earliest snowboard pipe and slalom contests.
