Summary: Hello my name is becca and i like to say that powder ridge is the best place to start snowboarding as a beginner.... Me and alot of my friends started snowboarding there and know they are all really really good! thanx powder ridge!!!!!*
Summary: I've been riding this hill ( or bump) for eleven years now and it has grown upon me to always go back. This is a great hill for beginners because of the size and zero difficulty of the runs. If you want lessons you will learn something because the instructors are very good. This hill also provides excellent emergency care via the ski patrol if needed. I have always found it best to ski the hill in the dark because the lighting accents most of the bumps and roughness better.
Summary: When you live in central MN, only five minutes from a place like this what other choice do you have. I had a season pass here for about 6 years and skied about 50 times every year. Waiting in line can be brutal on the weekend but during the weeknights simple skate in and ride. Active race team seems to consume most of the hill on any given weekend, but that's ok to. All the skiers I grew up with used the area as a stepping stone to college towns and western skiing.
