One, owner Jordan possesses some wizard-like ability to conjure powder. While this year&#8217;s trip was the first to miss a big storm, the skiing was bolstered by the 30 inches of snow that dropped on Wolf Creek three days before our arrival.<\/p>\n<p>Two, we get frenetic about chasing snow and skiing together, but not enough to drop our responsibilities. The trip is orchestrated to give every Powder7 employee three ski days and three nights in a cozy mountain house. While a group or two hits the field, the rest of the team holds down the homefront, selling and shipping gear in Golden.<\/p>\n<p>We like to think we&#8217;re pretty good at blending work and play. It&#8217;s part of the reason <a href=\"http:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/powder7-ranked-among-outside-magazines-best-places-to-work\/\">Outside Magazine named us one of its Best Places to Work in 2017<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And three\u2014we like skiing.
