fishrising Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) Hitting Pow Mow, Snowbird, Snow Basin and maybe others in early March with some softbooters. They want to get out for a day in a cat. Can anyone recommend which, Whisper Ridge Cats or Pow Mow Cats? And why? We are staying at Pow Mow. But 3k acres accessible to Pow Mow Cats versus 60k acres accessible to Whisper Ridge Cats has me leaning towards Whisper Ridge. Not worried about the hourish drive unless we get dumped on. Both same general per person price. Is this Whisper Ridge's first year of operation? Edited November 17, 2016 by fishrising Update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

utahcarver Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 PowMow just added two lifts and 1,000 new skiable acres. There will also be Winterstick demos there this winter if you are interested in riding a swallowtail in powder. And it snowed yesterday in northern Utah.

fishrising Posted November 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Mark, we definitely plan on spending at least one day at PowMow, love that place. And I did hear about the 2 new lifts, saw them putting up the towers on one of their social media feeds, Also heard PowMow's lead cat guide is now working for Whisper Ridge...and PowMow may not run cats beyond lightning ridge any more...all rumor...but who knows...

fishrising Posted March 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Yup, heading to Solitude today. 48 is the expected high on the mountain... Whisper Ridge has called and is urging us to take a credit and not go cat riding this weekend. But they will take us if we really want to go. Probably not going. Tempted to drive to Grand Targhee. If not, then Pow Mow tomorrow, with Saturday and Sunday up in the air. Snowbasin one day maybe. We'll see....will make the best of what we get. 2 years ago it was even warmer when we were here, 60 on the mountains, mid-70s at the condo at Wolf Creek in Eden.

philw Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Sounds like it's going to be warm. Whatever, it's all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishrising Posted March 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) So... Thursday - Solitude Friday - Snowbasin Saturday - Powder Mountain Sunday - Brighton Overall a great trip. Didn't get to go to Whisper Ridge like we planned, at their advice. But had a blast around the other mountains. Got to rip some soft groomers. Got to ride the PowMow single ride cats a few times, doing Hook Chute, Y Chute, and bunch of stuff off the Rain Tree cat. For half the trip I wish I had hardboots, but the other half I was happy in softboots...
