Pow Mt $18 cat trip, worth it ???

[snobrdnotski]

Is the Pow Mt $18 cat trip worth it for just one run? I know its a very subjective question, but let me know your opinion.

Thanks,

48 hours and counting down

Yes. I would happily pay that.

Consider that the average snow cat trip runs about $300+ for about 10k vert.
I think one run down that ridge is around 1.5K feet or so.
Yeah it's a killer deal, be sure to hike up a bit too, I don't take the run out at the bottom, instead i go left and stay high, clear the next ridge and drop into the resort there. You'll have to do a tiny bit of hiking to clear it.
When are you going there?.

[snobrdnotski]

I will be there this weekend Sat and Sunday. I wanted to bit POW and Basin, but may just stay at POW.

I wouldnt skip Basin, good mountain. John Paul chair runs, allen tram and Strawberry bowl.

[snobrdnotski]

You would skip Basin and spend 2 days at POW MT?

[marcg]

No i'd personally hit both. They are both very different mountains. Keep your eye on what this Sunday storm does, hopefully it works out for northern utah.
Go for it if 2 days at Pow Mow is more doable, it's all good, not like either of them sucks.
