(Tristan Sadler | Powder Mountain) Skiers and snowboarders take a slow ride up the Timberline lift during opening weekend at Powder Mountain on Dec. 9, 2023. The resort plans to replace the lift with a fixed-grip quad for the 2024-25 season. The Paradise lift will also be upgraded and the resort will build two new lifts, one for the public up Lightning Ridge and another private lift for homeowners to Cobabe Canyon.
