History

Powder Mountain has one of the longest and most interesting pasts of any Utah resort, dating back to the days when sheep, not skiers, ran the slopes. Frederick James Cobabe, a sheep rancher, purchased large parcels of land around Eden. In 1948 Cobabe's son, Alvin, purchased the 8,000 acres. While riding horses in the 1950s, a friend suggested his high-mountain land would make a great ski area. In 1972, Powder Mountain ski area opened with the Sundown lift and, along with lessons, he added lights for night skiing. Food that season was prepared on an outdoor barbecue. The following season he built the Main Lodge and Sundown Lodge, and he added the Timberline lift. In 1995 he opened the Hidden Lake lift. In 1981, realizing the opportunities for powder skiing on his land, he opened a shuttle service that allowed skiers to ski open-powder runs that terminate at the road and there be picked up and returned to the main resort area. In 1984 Powder Mountain became the first Utah resort to welcome snowboarders. In 1994 the Sunrise lift opened, and the Paradise lift followed in 1999.

Powder Mountain remains in the hands of the Cobabe family, putting it in a small group of resorts that remain under original, private ownership.
