There is no disconnect between our philosophy as a resort and resort community and how we treat our mountain. Our foundational philosophy is based in protecting the mountain and its natural environs. A major motivating factor in acquiring Powder Mountain was to save it from the planned overdevelopment of its previous owners, which included a master plan that was double in size and scope to ours, and construction of two highly water-consumptive golf courses and a water park.    Â
The new master plan was well-vetted by various local/regional wildlife and environmental agencies and groups, and limited to a small percentage of the overall property acreage, with approximately 80% of the project’s Weber County lands retained as open space.Â
