Powder Mountain has always been that spacious mountain with that special hometown charm. Whether that “mountain magic” comes from welcoming locals, employees that genuinely love their work, or the stashes of powder that seem to last for weeks after a storm, everybody that skis here seems to agree: nowhere else in the world quite compares. Last week after the storm, Huck and I went up to meet the newest employee at Powder Mountain and to see how his pre-season work was coming along. Everybody, meet Hatch the Avalanche Rescue Dog, and his handler/ ski patrol partner/ and best friend, Nicole Dye.
