  Powderhorn Mountain Resort
Welcome to Powderhorn, Western Colorado's fun, friendly ski area. We're located 35 miles southeast of Grand Junction. You'll find runs you love for any skiing or boarding level -- from cruisin' on wide, gentle slopes to challenging trees and bumps. You won't find long lift lines or expensive lift tickets, either.
Wait until you ski our legendary Colorado powder -- we average over 250 inches a year! Even our mountain layout, which feeds into a central base area, is family-friendly.
Come Discover Your Mountain Fun at Powderhorn Mountain!
