Job Description

Powder is a year-round resort and real estate development project nestled throughout 12,000 acres in the Wasatch Mountains of Northern Utah. We are striving to be the premier place of being and doing, a destination that fuses outdoor recreation with a cultural and hospitality program that connects visitors with a deeper sense of self and purpose.

These values make us who we are and help drive us to fulfill our purpose: to spark wonder!

Our Commitment To Equality
