From Winter Sheep Range To The Resort's Original Powder Mountain Real Estate Communities
Powder Mountain Resort humbly began as the winter range for Frederick Cobabe’s sheep herd. He was orphaned as a boy, at the age of 15. He tended camp for herders who paid him in sheep until he was able to build a herd of his own.
Between 1902-1948, Fred accumulated more land for a summer range in Eden. Folks from that time remember the watershed being so poor that Wolf Creek dried up every year. Fred’s soil conservation practices greatly improved the vegetation and now Powder Mountain has one of the best watersheds in the Wasatch Mountains.
Powder Mountain became a ski resort in 1972, developed by the late Dr. Alvin Cobabe, Fred’s son. Only the Sundown lift was open during its first season, and dining options consisted of an outdoor barbecue- it was an immediate success. The following year the Main Lodge, the Sundown Lodge and the Timberline lift were added.
As part of the original resort Cobabe developed several communities — Powder Mountain West, the Moonridge Condos, the Columbine Inn, Powder 11 and the Sundown Condo Project.
Development for Powder Mountain Real Estate Projects Call For Infrastructure Just As Hardy As The Terrain
That early rugged spirit is still present today. When you live on top of a mountain, building a solid infrastructure for home communities takes a little more grit and perseverance than the average project. The resort’s summit elevation is 9,422 feet after all.
Development at Powder Mountain uses Powder Mountain Water and Sewer, there is no natural gas at this time, and most homes use propane. While some communities have year-round road access, some estates are only accessible in the winter by snowmobile.
Powder Mountain Real Estate Offerings
From luxury cabins to rustic condos, you’re sure to find a special property that speaks to your architectural aesthetic and the mountain lifestyle you’re searching for.
Powder Mountain West
Located between the parking lot of the Main Lodge and above the Sundown Lift on the north side of the road, offering stunning views.
These homesites are only accessible in the winter via snowcat, snowmobile or snowshoeing but offer a gated dirt road in the summer. All of these properties, in general, are ski in ski out but may require a little bit of walking.
The entire community consists of single-family homes, with a variety of architectural styles — from log cabins to modern ski chalets of various ages.
Owners who live here year round and throughout the winter absolutely love it! If there is one thing this resort has, it is an amazingly loyal skier base.
