What is the Black Powder Festival?
The Black Powder Festival (BPF) is an inaugural, multi-day winter culture experience that brings together snow sports, community, and lifestyle in Park City, Utah. The festival blends on-mountain experiences—such as skiing, snowboarding, and tubing—with curated off-slope moments designed to foster connection, visibility, and access in snow sports spaces.
When and where does the festival take place?
The inaugural Black Powder Festival will be held December 10–13, 2026, in Park City, Utah — one of North America’s most renowned ski destinations.
Who is the festival for?
BPF is for anyone who loves culture, music, and the mountains — from seasoned skiers to first-timers. Expect an energetic, diverse, and upscale crowd of travelers, creators, and tastemakers.
What events are part of the festival?
The Black Powder Festival features a mix of on-mountain activities and off-slope social experiences across the multi-day event. Attendees can participate in ski and snowboard outings, including group sessions, private lessons, and dedicated pathways for first-time participants. Off the mountain, the festival opens with a Welcome Mixer featuring music, line dancing, and karaoke, followed by evening experiences such as Casino Night and night tubing. One of the signature social moments is Jamapalooza, a pajama-themed party with a live band and DJ designed for relaxed connection and fun after a day on the slopes. A full schedule will be shared closer to the event, with programming spread across each day of the festival.

Are tickets refundable or transferable?

What does my ticket include?
Each pass includes access to official BPF events, performances, and mixers. VIP tickets offer additional benefits like priority entry, reserved seating, and exclusive sponsor activations.
Do I need to be an experienced skier or snowboarder to attend?
Not at all! Many guests come for the music, culture, and atmosphere — not just the slopes. Non-skiers can enjoy Casino Night, Night Tubing, live performances, mixers, and après-ski parties. Beginner-friendly “Never Ever” packages and private lessons will also be available through our resort partners.

The Grand Summit at Park City is the official hotel partner for the Black Powder Festival and the most convenient place to stay during the event. The Grand Summit is offering discounted room rates for all festival attendees, with guest suites available on a first-come, first-served basis—so booking early is strongly encouraged. All festival events take place at the Grand Summit, making it the easiest option for lodging, access to programming, and on-mountain activities. Once tickets are purchased, attendees will receive details on how to book at the special BPF rates through the Plan Your Trip section of the festival website. Pro tip: Park City fills up quickly during festival week—secure your room as early as possible.
What should I wear to the festival?
Think mountain chic meets après-ski glam. Pack stylish winter wear, insulated layers, snow boots, and outfits for nightlife and indoor events.
