View More →Powderhorn sits on the northern edge of Grand Mesa, billed as the world's largest flat-topped mountain, about an hour from Grand Junction. The resort's own site lists 1,600 acres, a base at 8,200 feet, a summit at 9,850 feet and an average of about 250 inches of snow a year.
The terrain is about 20% beginner, 50% intermediate and 30% advanced, so roughly 70% is beginner or intermediate, which suits families and anyone who likes to cruise. The season usually runs from late November to early April.
The 2026-27 season is Powderhorn's 60th, and the resort is replacing the West End double chair with the new Wild West Express high-speed quad. Powderhorn is listed on the Indy Pass and is operated by Pacific Group Resorts. Check current Powderhorn ski conditions before you head up.
