Last week’s delivery of fresh 'Wasatch Gold' was well received by many, and the heinous crowds in the Cottonwoods proved it.  However, while the general population of powder-starved locals waited in the line at the base of the canyon, my friends and I enjoyed an absolutely splendid day at Powder Mountain.  Less than an hour drive from SLC, this little gem offers up some 7,000 acres of pure shred-able entertainment, without the egocentric masses that inhabit the slopes closer to town.
