Green Initiatives
Powder Mountain Resort is pleased to announce our continued partnerships with Mizu Water Bottles and POW (Protect Our Winters). Powder Mountain maintains a pledge to be 100% plastic water bottle free with the help of Mizu, who installed water stations in every lodge to promote the use of refillable water bottles. The Admiral Beverage Company/Pepsi will also reinforce our efforts in recycling plastic bottles and aluminum cans. Furthermore, Powder Mountain is pleased to help spread POW’s message to our guests. “Our snow comes from Mother Nature and we are 100% reliant on Her for our amazing powder.
