2022 was a record-setting ski season for Colorado's Powderhorn Mountain! As the resort prepares to close down the slopes for spring, let's take a look at the two records that were broken this season up on the Grand Mesa.

The secret to this year's success was the snowfall totals. Mother Nature sent a great deal of snow to Powderhorn through the holiday season at the end of the year. The month of March brought about 4 feet of snowfall to Powderhorn Mountain according to NBC 11.
