Utah Powmow cat op new terrain?

[Toddlasher1]

Anybody have the lowdown on Powder Mountain Cat Skiing day operation now that they have expanded their terrain? I was there at least 10 years ago and it was nice but very very mellow.

The all-day cat skiing is on Monument’s terrain (formally Whisper Ridge). The one-ride-at-a-time terrain is Powder Mountain’s (Lightning Ridge and Raintree). None of it is really Snowbird/Jackson like terrain.

The lift served expansion areas (2 new lifts a few years ago) are very low-angle/mellow.

Activities – Powder Mountain

Located in Eden, Utah and boasts the most skiable acreage in North America and limits daily tickets.

I think it is still pretty mellow but they have been working hard to cut brush & establish roads during the summer.

I skied Whisper Ridge (now Monument) pre-Covid for a day. While none of it was extreme, we did ski some pretty steep lines—a few of which had some tight trees as well. We did not ski any runs that were not pitched enough to be enjoyable. I would go back. Based only on a single day’s experience at both Monument and Park City Powdercats, I would say PC Powdercats probably has more, higher quality terrain.

When did monument get started? Seems like whisper shut down during the pandemic.

Monument took over WR & I think this will be their 3rd or 4th year. They have been very low key & AFAIK cater mostly to to the (formerly Summit?) property owners. At least they’ve done very little if any advertising.
