Utah Windriders Association

Powder Mountain is one of only a few resorts in North America (if not the only one) supporting snowkiting on a regular basis. Aficionados are welcome to take advantage of the wide open spaces, gentle inclines and frequent winds at the top of Hidden Lake as long as they have a snowkite pass or a regular lift pass. Approximately 300 – 500 acres of ideal snowkiting terrain is just off the Hidden Lake parking lot. With a top elevation of 8,900 powder is plentiful throughout the season.

The $20 snowkite pass allows access to the snowkite area only. Most kiters take off just a short distance from the parking lot, but the pass will also allow them to ride the Sunrise pommel lift. Frequent snowkiters at Powder Mountain will want to purchase the $200 Kite Only Season Pass.

For the month of November only, Powder is offering a special price on regular season passes only for those in the snowkiting community. If you purchase a regular season pass prior to November 30, the price will be reduced to $650. That is a savings of $140 over the regular season pass price. You can order the pass by calling 801-745-3772 Ext 134. When you come to the resort to pick up the pass, you will be required to show a copy of this email. No refunds will be given for season passes already purchased.

This was passed on to me too. It is more of an informal announcement and is good as long as we as kiters dont abuse it.

"... we will allow one run per day on Hidden Lake. If someone has a day pass it is easy to control because their pass will get punched by the ticket checker. We have to ask for help from the snowkiting community on policing anyone with a snowkite only season pass. If we find someone that rides Hidden Lake more than once, their pass and their privileges will be taken away."
