Utah has been the epicenter of several storms recently, and what better way to celebrate a brand-new lift than with several feet of snow? Powder Mountain debuted its new Lightning Ridge lift after the resort saw nearly three feet of snow. Opening for the 2024/25 season, the lift will service advanced and expert-only terrain. This marks Powder Mountain’s first new lift in a decade.
The lift creates a new connection between the Sundown base area and the rest of the resort. Sitting below James Peak, which taps out at a summit elevation of 9,422 feet, the Lightning Ridge lift is a significant addition for this side of the mountain and opens up bountiful opportunities for more advanced riders.
This Skytrac fixed-grip quad is a one of three new public lifts that Pow Mow has debuted this season. The Timberline and Paradise lifts were replaced this summer and offer a new, state-of-the-art experience for guests. CEO Reed Hastings has made it a priority to ensure the mountain lives up to its reputation of being a top-tier resort where skiers can “escape the crowds “Escape the Masses” as their motto says, and these new chairs will help with that goal.
If Powder Mountain has long been on your bucket list, this is the ideal year to make it happen! Click here to get started.
