Stop complaining about foot rests, and stop complaining about the lifts. If you don't like it that much, simply don't go there and spend a thousand dollars at Beaver Creek or Vail. They have little foot rests for your numb legs. Anyway this place is very convenient and the snow is always great. Friendly staff too.

The lifts are slow and ancient. Its a fun mountain if you don't want to goto Aspen or anywhere on I-70. The west end of the mountain is the only ski area in Colorado that a snowboarder needs "ski poles" due to the flat areas. Overall its a great mountain! The owners of Powderhorn should take some time and update the lifts/flat areas.

A great skiing experience. Unique, smaller resort atmosphere. Beautiful vistas. Plenty of off piste in trees and and chutes. Friendly staff. No lines and plenty of vertical in a day. A real treat.

The lifts are slow and ancient. Your legs are numb as there are no foot rests by the time you get to the top. I would rather buy a pass for snowmass and spend my time driving than sitting on an out of date slow chair lift. Its close to Grand Junction and that is all I can say good about it.
