#3 Powder King - Snowboarders Rating 4.75/5
Powder King is an absolute playground for snowboarders who live for deep days. Our users consistently rave about the abundance of powder stashes, especially in the trees and backcountry zones. One advanced rider mentioned finding tons of powder in the out-of-bounds areas near the top, whilst another Snomad community member described the dry, deep snow as unbeatable.
