EDEN, Utah - Whisper Ridge, a premier helicopter and cat-skiing provider operating out of Eden, Utah announces the acquisition of over 11,000 premium skiable acres to its existing terrain for the 2018-19 season. The newly combined 70,000+ contiguous acres makes Whisper Ridge the largest private backcountry ski resort in the world. Whisper Ridge is also announcing an exclusive partnership with Powder Mountain Resort to provide heli- and cat-skiing services for their guests.
As stated in a press release, Whisper Ridge will build an additional base of operations at Powder Mountain to facilitate access to their private land, which borders the public resort. "This partnership creates a truly unique opportunity for limitless lift serviced, side-country and backcountry experiences for skiers and riders seeking an alternative to the overcrowded and overhyped resorts that are becoming all too common these days," says Mark Schroetel, General Manager at Powder Mountain. Whisper Ridge is a relatively new resort, operating for the last 4 years in the North Ogden, Utah area. "These mountains have only recently opened, being held privately for generations," says CEO of Whisper Ridge Dan Lockwood. "Our expansion and Powder Mountain partnership creates an exciting opportunity for skiers to experience a hidden gem at the heart of the world's best powder skiing."
