Summary:Powder Mountain investors earlier this week emerged with an updated proposal to turn the quaint ski area, on the boundary between Cache and Weber counties, into a four-season resort and luxury development. The 12,000-acre parcel, owned since 1972 by Alvin Cobabe, is already familiar to members of the Cache County Planning and Zoning Commission, whose members heard the presentation Monday. That group had changed Powder Mountain's zoning from forest to recreation resort three years ago. But then a developer -- faced with area residents' opposition and a troublesome post-9/11 economy -- walked away. Aleta Cobabe said the partners plan to build on 7,960 acres in Cache and Weber counties, nearly 3,600 acres of which rest in Cache County, six miles north of Eden and 19 miles northeast of Ogden. The property is adjacent to private ranches and the Wasatch-Cache National Forest.
