Powder Mountain is a ski resort located in the western United States east of Eden, Utah, stretching between Weber and Cache counties in the Wasatch Range which covers 12,000 acres (18.8 sq mi; 48.6 km2), and is one of the largest ski resorts in the U.S.[1][2] The resort was established in 1972, and has 162 trails, nine lifts, and two terrain parks;[3] it is 55 miles (90 km) northeast of the Salt Lake City International Airport.

Powder Mountain has five public chairlifts (Timberline, Lightning Ridge, Sundown, Hidden Lake, & Paradise) and three homeowner dedicated lifts (Village, Mary's, & Raintree).

Cobabe's son Alvin bought his father's livestock company (with its 8,000 acres) in 1948,[9] and later acquired adjacent properties.

[10] The resort remained under the same management team, led by Aleta Cobabe[8] (Alvin's daughter) during the 2006–07 season.

[17] In addition to widespread recognition as one of the best ski resorts in the country, Architectural Digest called Powder "The Hottest Design Destination You Probably Haven't Heard Of" in 2018, due to the unique architectural vision of its residential community.
