The little ski resort that could...

Former top guy at Vail Resort, Andy Daly has taken Powderhorn (in just one season) into the upper rankings of ski destinations in Western Colorado.  Now aiming for year round access, local families are looking forward to what comes next

Congrats to Powderhorn Mountain Resort.

"MESA, Colo.- Powderhorn's first year under new ownership is coming to a close this weekend. After a long winter, that looked bleak for snow for a long time, General Manager Daren Cole said, "We've been extremely happy with the delivery we've been able to put out there to the community."

Powderhorn was purchased by Andy Daly as well as Tom and Ken Gart last summer at auction for $1.4 million. Since then, there have been numerous improvements at the resort, including the construction of a new deck at base lodge, renovations at the Sunset Grill and the addition of a tubing hill.

In addition to the renovations, many people are thrilled with riding conditions. Season pass holder Steve Sweat said, "Being under new management, they've done a really good job grooming this year. The snow depth hasn't been any issue here. The grooming has made up for it tremendously."..."

Congratulations to Andy Daly and his new Powderhorn. Awesome accomplishments for a first season. We really needed this new resort to fit the needs of family weekend travels and doings. Nothing else like it anywhere around.
