Powder is a year-round resort and real estate development project nestled throughout 12,000 acres in the Wasatch Mountains of Northern Utah. As ski resorts become increasingly crowded and mass-market, we offer something different—an independent alternative where natural beauty, uncrowded terrain, endless discovery, and creative spirit define every moment. We are a destination that fuses outdoor recreation with a cultural and hospitality program that connects visitors with a deeper sense of self and purpose. Our core values come to life in a unique and natural setting of unparalleled beauty.

We’re looking for Big-Hearted Champions who are passionate about outdoor recreation, art, and meaningful connection. Together, we're crafting a one-of-a-kind, multi-season destination that seamlessly blends outdoor art, exhilarating recreation, and exceptional hospitality. If you’re an enthusiastic, caring team player who strives for excellence—and always tries to do the right thing, even when no one is watching—you’ll fit right in at Powder.

We Are:

Big-hearted: passionate, warm, joyful, and generous. We’re champions: tenacious, intolerant of mediocrity, and constantly seeking feedback. These values make us who we are and help drive us to fulfill our purpose: to spark wonder.

Our Commitment to Equality:

Together we are one team, not an "us vs. them" mentality. We are focused on being a progressive employer with pay equity, inclusion, while building diverse teams.

Appearance Guidelines:

Well-groomed facial hair, tasteful visible tattoos, and minimal facial piercings are acceptable.
