The most magical phrase in skiing right now is “private powder.” It refers to a privately owned ski mountain that offers very limited access, uncrowded slopes, no lift lines, untrammeled snow and maximum privilege.

Exclusive and remote, these five private powder resorts were practicing social distancing long before it became necessary to get away from the crowd.
