Check us out.

A lot has been going on in the summer months for the Deep Powder House. We have been busy working on our 4th store right at the foot of the Wasatch. It is a bit of a change from being Alta exclusive for so long, but we are loving the new surroundings. We have a shiny new 5,200 square foot store full of everything you can expect to see at the Deep Powder House ski shops. Top of the line equipment and friendly faces. We also bought ourselves a little gift. Well…It is for you too. A state of the art Ski Tuning machine the Montana Challenge. In between getting our store open and ready. We have been playing around with patterns and edge bevels to get your skis the best tune ever! Come check out the new spot and think snow. Check out the link to see the new machine from Montana.

New Store is located at 3138 E 6200 S in Salt lake City, UT.

How do you get down?

What do you get when you take two pros skiers, acres of backcountry skiing and three years in the making? You get a major step forward in backcountry AT ski bindings. In the imperfect world of AT it can be frustrating to find what works for you. The bindings are too heavy, high off the ski, and kill the flex of fat skis. MFD has changed things for the better. With the first of many offerings to come from MFD they give us the “ALLTIME” AT setup. Using your existing downhill ski bindings you can mount them to the MFD plate and away you go. Lower than a Duke. Way more stable than a Fritschi. MFD stands alone in the AT world. Built for big mountain skiing, it is burly and as light as it can be. It is a perfect tool for the Wasatch backcountry/sidecountry. You feel secure and can use your setup in and out of bounds. You can find them here at the Powder House Ski Shops. Head in and pick a pair up then head out to the backcountry. Here are the specs…
