Powder Mountain

There's a difference between snow from heaven and artificial snow. Snow purists prefer Ogden's Powder Mountain Resort, where only genuine, fallen-from-the-sky Utah powder graces its steep slopes. Known for its gold medal terrain and excellent natural snow, Powder Mountain is a prime winter and summer destination. Its ski and board season usually lasts from mid-November to mid-April. Although the resort has always welcomed hikers and mountain bikers during the summer months, a 4 X 4 adventure tour was offered for the first time in 2008. The resort offers slope-side accommodations and free shuttle service to most of the lodging in Eden.

Pineview Reservoir

Pineview offers a unique blend of sport fish, including trophy-sized tiger muskie. Tigers are a hybrid blending muskie with northern pike. They grow large, attack lures aggressively and fight like - well, like tigers. The Utah state record tiger muskie, a 49-inch fish that weighed 33 lbs, 9 oz, was caught in Pineview. Because the reservoir is located in a small valley, ringed by mountains, wind is minimal and so the water is usually calm, often glassy - ideal for water skiing and wake boarding. The reservoir has nice sandy beaches and paved launch ramps.

Pineview even offers cross Country ski'ing and ice fishing in the winter for the cold enthusiast!

Ogden's Christmas Village

Sure, Christmas songs are on the radio, trees and tinsel are in stores, and Christmas lights have been up since before the snow came.

But to some, the Christmas season doesn't truly start until the lights go on at Ogden's Christmas Village, a collection of 59 sometimes-whimsical, sometimes-historical cottages.

The smaller-than-human-scale cottages have been installed in Ogden's Municipal Gardens, creating a miniature village where elves, snowmen and Santa are in a perpetual state of getting ready for Dec. 25.

Since 1962, people have made Christmas Village a tradition, and new families join the tradition every year — not only for the cottages, but also for children to get a chance to meet Santa in the one human-sized cottage near the gardens' entrance on 25th Street.
