Powder Mountain Changes

It was nice to see new lifts at Powder Mountain, but they (Reed Hastings) are really changing the character of the mountain. Perhaps the incompetent Burning Man/Fyre Festival/Tech Millenials were better for the mountain.


Surprisingly, the private Raintree Lift does not service much of Cobabe Canyon. It looks like you could cut any private boundary gates and ski Cobabe as before with the usual runout. Most of the private ski lifts are a bit lackluster.

Now you have 'Powder Mountain Will Only Be Open To Season Passholders During Weekends Throughout February' Link

And paid parking every weekend and holiday day: Link

And Substantial Day Ticket and Pass Price increase: Link

The prices are increasing with season passes going from $1,259 this season to an early bird price of $1,399 for next winter (price go up March 5th to $1,499 and will continue to increase with demand). Many of the discounted categories have also been eliminated for college students, teachers, firefighters, cops and seniors over 75:
“Any passholder of a 2023/24 season pass product (full, night, midweek) can purchase an Adult 2024/25 season pass at $1,399 through March 4th. Youth, Teen, Senior, Military and Midweek passes are also available. All prices can be viewed in the Powder Mountain e-store.
On March 5th, Adult 2024/25 season passes will start at $1,499 and will increase with demand – the earlier you buy, the better your price.
