Other than skiing and snowboarding, Powder Mountain winter activities are quite limited, which is in fitting with its bare bones status.
Powder Mountain Ski Tours & Activities
In addition to guided tours of the off-piste zones of the Powder Mountain ski resort, Pow Mow offers guided backcountry tours in zones that have some pretty steep terrain. The tours include some hiking as well as snowcat shuttles, or just ski touring and splitboarding.
Powder Mountain Cat Skiing is also an option, with custom trips that can include a snowcat (not just the single shuttles) or snowmobile access in zones such as Gertsen Canyon or Davenport. This shouldn’t be confused with Powder Mountain Cat Skiing in British Columbia near Whistler.
Another great powder hound activity is heli-skiing.
USA heli skiing is limited, and Diamond Peaks Heliski Adventures which is based in the Ogden Valley, is one of a handful of operators. Diamond Peaks provide some of the most inexpensive heli-skiing in the USA. They offer 6 run packages, which is a great way to get a taste of heli-skiing.
