I would say that Powder Mountain , the mammoth but little - have sex resort hotel in Northern Utah ’s Wasatch Range , is a very lucky place to be . So why 13 reasons to witch it ?
While westerly superstitious notion considers the number 13 to be doomed , it intend quite the opposite in traditional Taiwanese civilization . When pronounced in Mandarin , “ 1 ” sounds likeshi(“definite ” ) and 3 sounds likesan(“life , ” “ last , ” or “ nativity ” ) . Together the numbers intend a state of being that ’s full of life-time or growth — a very favorable disposition that I strive to be by .
Here , the 13 thing I have it off most about Powder Mountain :
1.Over 7,000 Accho of powdery goodness … all to myself .
2.Untouched powder rill at the remnant of the day , less than a 10 - minute walk off the trail .
3.Aspen tree runs galore .
4.Waiting in the backcountry for the shuttle jalopy with a crowd of super stoked powderhounds .
5.The fabled Woody , man the Woody ’s World / Powder Country shuttle for more than two decades .
6.Night skiing on Sundown Ridge , where “ night ” start at 3 o’clock in the good afternoon and goes beyond sunset .
7.True ski - in / ski - out lodging on top of the mountain .
8.This very fine view from our balcony .
9.Our take over favourite racoon camping in a snow cave outside our windowpane .
10.Waking up to snow - report aspens on a bluebird morning .
11.Digging out the car after a glorious Champagne-Ardenne snowstorm .
12.Snowcat skiing . The best $ 15 ever spent .
13.And last but certainly not least , James Peak , the highest point on Powder Mountain — and where I accepted avery dulcet proposal .
