The home was close to Powder Mountain (9 minutes) but also even closer to a small ski resort great for beginners or little kids. There is a small market, liquor store and a great restaurant close by called Mad Moose Cafe. Essentially once you get to the home which is exactly one hour from Salt Lake City Airport you don't have to drive much. That leaves more time for family fun, meals, games and snow activities. We skiied, hiked, and snow mobiled. There is a great hike just south down the road from the Valley Market on the left called North Arm Trailhead, a part of Cache National Forest. There is a sign and big parking lot. I saw others hiking and cross country skiing. The house was perfect for our family of 5. All of our teenagers had their own bathroom and bedroom. The views were incredible and the owner was attentive, responsive and extremely helpful for our late night check in. I would definitely return here. One thing about Powder Mountain, we are intermediate skiers and the signage on the mountain was so poor we had a hard time figuring out which runs were which. If you do this mountain, I would recommend maybe get a guide for the first day to show you the trails. I spent too much time examining the trail map and still it was hard to navigate. I did hear others saying it is the best mountain they have ever been too. Thanks Brady for a great vacation.
