Powder Pathway Program FAQs
Who is Powder Pathway for?
First-timers. Anyone who has never skied or snowboarded before from 5-99 years old. Lessons will be built across three age tiers: Child (5–6), Youth (7–12), and Adult (13+).
I've had a Season Pass at Powder Mountain before, can I still sign up?
No. Powder Pathway is for first-time skiers and riders who have never previously held a Powder Mountain Season Pass. If a participant is found to be ineligible, the purchase will be canceled and refunded.
Is this only for skiers, or snowboarders too?
Both. Powder Pathway is open to first-time skiers and first-time snowboarders.
Does the Powder Pathway adult pass include the Kids Ski Free benefit?
What's included in Powder Pathway?
How much does it cost?
$799 for year one across all age tiers. $899 for years two and three.
Does price differ from an adult participant to a child or youth participant?
No. The cost of the program ($799 for year one) remains the same across all age tiers from 5–99 years old.
How do I book my lessons?
Powder Pathway participants will be able to book their lessons before the season starts. Keep an eye on your email as the season gets closer, and we'll send instructions on how to redeem and book your lessons.
When can I sign up?
Enrollment opens 9/29/2026 and stays open until the program reaches capacity.
Are the lessons full day lessons?
Child and youth lessons are full day lessons. Adult lessons are half day lessons in either a morning or afternoon block.
What should I wear to my lessons?
Dress in layers so you can adjust as the day heats up or cools down. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer (avoid cotton, which holds sweat and gets cold), add a warm mid-layer like fleece, and top it with a waterproof jacket and pants. Bring waterproof gloves or mittens, one pair of warm socks, and goggles or sunglasses. Rental gear is included, so there's no need to buy equipment before your first lesson.
Can I skip a year and come back?
No. The Powder Pathway must be completed over three consecutive years.
What happens after year one?
You're eligible to continue to year two and year three. More lessons, more gear access, and a Season Pass.
