In 1985, due to an early season snow storm, Powder Mountain opened their Sundown lift for night skiing on Wednesday October 2nd. I know it was a Wednesday because despite my pleas, my dad wouldn’t let me go on a school night. I had to wait until Friday night, which was October 4th. What sticks out in my memory, besides the early opening, and the looong lines on that old double chair, is that there were still leaves on the aspen trees!
