Bob Beverly Free Learn to Ski or Ride
As one of Powderhorn's founders, Bob Beverly wanted to make skiing and snowboardong to be affordable and accessible to everyone. We honor his legacy with the Bob Beverly Free Learn-to-Ski program – for a limited time each season, guests who have never skied and never snowboarded can try up to three days of a single discipline with free rentals, tickets, and group lessons.
Registration will open in December!
