Powder Mountain's Enhanced Experience for Skiers
As the ski season approaches, Powder Mountain stands out with its unique approach to delivering an exceptional on-snow experience for passholders. Thanks to substantial investments and the visionary leadership of Reed Hastings, the resort is committed to providing a skiing environment characterized by uncrowded slopes and abundant powder.
Empowering Passholders with New Benefits
This winter, the team at Powder Mountain is introducing remarkable enhancements to their season passholder amenities. Among these are eight Buddy Tickets, which make it possible for passholders to share their love of skiing with friends and family at a 50% discount, all while eliminating blackout dates for lift access.
Early Access and Additional Discounts
Season passholders can enjoy early access to the mountain on select dates, allowing them to hit the slopes ahead of the crowd. On those special days, passholders can take their first rides starting bright and early at 8:00 am. Furthermore, the perks of a Powder Mountain season pass extend beyond skiing, offering 20% off lessons, rentals, retail purchases, and dining (excluding alcohol). Passholders can also benefit from free access to the local ski bus, ensuring a convenient and enjoyable ski experience all season long.
Exciting Events and New Facilities
In addition to the enhancements for passholders, Powder Mountain is developing new programs aimed at enriching the overall experience on the mountain. A new après series will take place every Saturday at Timberline Lodge, providing a vibrant environment for relaxation and socializing after a thrilling day on the slopes.
Special Event Terrain Park Launch
A remarkable addition is the Special Event Terrain Park, designed to be a hub for signature events. This location will host not only competitive events like the Grom Fest but also casual activities like outdoor parties, creating a lively atmosphere for both skiers and spectators.
Reviving the Tradition of Passholder Weekends
Back by popular demand, Passholder Weekends are the highlight of the season. These weekends are tailored specifically for season passholders to relish their skiing experience in an exclusive, uncrowded environment. They'll have ample opportunities for fun activities such as scavenger hunts and après-ski bingo nights, allowing for quality time with friends and family.
Enhancing Ski Education with Expanded Programs
For those new to skiing, Powder Mountain is also revamping its ski school offerings. The resort promises engaging learning experiences for individuals of all skill levels, making it easier for families to ski together and learn the sport. Special evening lessons and first-time group lessons are tailored to cater to varying experience levels and schedules.
New Lift Access to DMI Area
A thrilling development on the horizon is the construction of a triple lift in Wolf Canyon, intended to provide lift access to the expert terrain known as the "DMI" area. This exciting addition promises to enhance the skiing experience for advanced riders, providing access to thrilling open bowls and challenging chutes.
Artistic Enhancements on the Mountain
The Powder Art Foundation plans to unveil several pieces of art this season, further enriching the cultural landscape of the resort. With unique sculptures, visitors will get the chance to connect with the mountain in new and engaging ways.
