Parks and Pipes - Powder Mountain was the first Utah resort to allow snowboarding, even before Brighton. Powder has a very advanced terrain park with tabletops, handrails, a spine hit, a quarterpipe and a 400-foot-long halfpipe. A separate terrain park is Drifter Run which is designed for riders just learning their basic skills. You might want to check out nearby Snowbasin for even more snowboard thrills. Snowbasin has two terrain parks and one superpipe. Krazy Kat Park which has a few features, such as several boxes, rails and tabletops and is mostly for the beginner to intermediate category. The other park, Apex, has a variety of unusual rails and boxes, plus spines and a number of tabletops.
Out of Bounds - In the winter wonderland that is the Salt Lake City area, you can choose from a nearly infinite number of exciting outdoor sports such as snowcatting, horseback riding, sledding, hot air ballooning, ice skating, snowmobiling, jeeping and off-road driving, rock and ice climbing, and cross country skiing. If you want a really outrageous adventure, you have to check out the Bonneville Seabase and Neptune Divers. Seabase is an all-weather inland ocean, complete with tropical fish, where you can go snorkeling and/or scuba diving, even in January!
Hangout & Hookup - At Powder Mountain go to the Powder Keg for an après ski brew and hang out with all the mountain's instructors. Don't miss The Shooting Star Saloon, which is Utah’s oldest bar. The closest big city to this resort is Salt Lake City and don't let anyone tell you that Salt Lake City is a staid and boring place to go, because that is completely not true. W Lounge is an eclectic dance club featuring guest DJs; The Red Door is Salt Lake's upscale nightspot featuring an eclectic selection of martinis, cocktails, and wine; Vortex is a nightclub like no other, on 5 levels, with 3 dance floors, state-of-the-art sound/lights, game room, and usually is host to celebrity guests.
