About Powder Addicts
Hey, I'm Jesse.
I bought Powder Addicts in 2019 for $5,800 because I wanted to build a brand I'd actually be proud to wear, promote and gift. Since then we've sold over $2M, and we keep growing!
I grew up snowboarding at Brighton in Utah and, like most mountain people, I've spent way too many days wishing I was on the mountain instead of sitting at a desk.
Powder Addicts exists for people who feel the same way.
We create unique products inspired by the places that shape us most...ski resorts, powder days, road trips, cabins, and mountain memories.
What started as a small print-on-demand shop has grown into a community of skiers and snowboarders across the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, and beyond.
Every product is designed to help you bring a little piece of mountain life home.
Thanks for supporting a ski bum-owned business.
Jesse
"One More Line Couldn't Hurt"
FAQ
Products & Maps
Why are your maps different?
Most ski resort products use the same trail map you've seen on lift signs, brochures, and websites.
Our maps are professionally created in Utah by the cartographers at MapSynergy. Every map is redrawn in a consistent style that balances accuracy, detail, and aesthetics.
The result is a map that's accurate enough to spark memories and beautiful enough to hang on your wall, wear on your body, or wrap around yourself after a powder day.
Why are your blankets more expensive than Amazon blankets?
Most blankets on Amazon are mass-produced products designed to appeal to everyone.
Our blankets are designed for one person:
You.
Your mountain.
Your favorite runs.
Your ski trips.
Your memories.
Every Powder Addicts blanket is made to order and features professionally crafted trail maps created by the cartographers at MapSynergy. We offer hundreds of resorts across North America, Australia, New Zealand, and beyond—many of which can't be found anywhere else.
When you buy a Powder Addicts blanket, you're not just buying something to keep warm.
You're buying a reminder of powder days, chairlift conversations, family ski trips, and the place you'd rather be.
If all you need is a blanket, Amazon has plenty of options.
If you want your mountain, that's where we come in.
Where are your products made?
The honest answer? It depends on the product.
We work with manufacturing partners in the United States, Mexico, and other countries depending on the product category.
Many of our products are printed, assembled, or fulfilled in the United States using globally sourced materials and components. Our blankets, for example, are produced in Mexico before being printed and shipped to customers.
As a small business, we do our best to support U.S.-based suppliers and manufacturing partners whenever it makes sense from both a quality and cost perspective.
Our priority is simple:
- Make products skiers and snowboarders genuinely love.
- Work with trusted production partners.
- Deliver the best quality possible at a reasonable price.
We're ski bums from Salt Lake City, not a giant corporation. We'd rather be transparent about where things come from than slap a marketing sticker on something and hope nobody asks.
Who creates your maps?
Our maps are created by MapSynergy, a Utah-based cartography company that specializes in ski resort mapping.
Matt has personally created ultra-detailed maps for every ski resort in North America, which is why we're able to offer mountains that nobody else has.
If you've ever searched for a gift featuring your home mountain and come up empty, that's exactly the problem we're solving.
Are these official resort maps?
No.
Our maps are independently created by MapSynergy and are not the same maps used by resorts on their trail signage.
Many customers actually prefer them because every resort is rendered in the same visual style, and are not warped like more artistic maps, making them legitimate navigation tools as well as art.
Do you really have every resort?
Pretty much.
We currently offer hundreds of ski resorts across the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and beyond.
If we somehow don't have your mountain, send us a message. There's a good chance we just haven't published it on the site yet.
What's the difference between Sherpa and Fleece blankets?
Both feature the same beautiful trail map artwork.
Sherpa blankets have a fluffy sherpa backing for maximum coziness and cabin-couch energy.
Fleece blankets are lighter, smoother, and great for everyday use.
You really can't go wrong. The choice mostly comes down to how aggressively you plan on hibernating.
Has one more line ever hurt anyone?
No.
SHIPPING & PRODUCTION
Why are your products made to order?
All of our products are made specifically for you after your order is placed.
This allows us to offer hundreds of resorts, dozens of product types, and personalized options without filling warehouses with inventory.
It also helps reduce waste and ensures we're creating products people actually want.
When will my blanket arrive?
Most blanket orders ship within 3–5 business days.
Shipping times vary depending on your location, the season, and carrier performance.
During the holidays we'll post shipping deadlines throughout the site so you'll know exactly when to order for Christmas delivery.
When will my order arrive?
Production times vary across products. We do our best to give you an estimate on the product page and at checkout. Some products are created and fulfilled overseas.
Do you ship internationally?
Absolutely.
We've shipped orders to customers across the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and many other countries.
Please note that international customers may be responsible for customs duties, taxes, or import fees required by their country.
How do I track my order?
As soon as your order ships, we'll email you tracking information.
You can also track your order through our website at any time.
Why did my order arrive in multiple packages?
Some of our products are produced in different facilities and may ship separately.
If one item arrives before another, don't panic. The rest of your order is usually close behind.
What if my package never arrives?
If your package appears lost, reach out to our support team and we'll investigate.
If the carrier confirms the package was lost in transit, we'll work with you to make it right.
We also offer shipping insurance through Route, available for purchase at checkout.
Route will fully refund your lost order if you purchase the very reasonable premium at checkout.
PERSONALIZATION, RETURNS & GUARANTEES
Can I personalize my product?
Many of our products offer personalization options such as names, dates, custom text, and other unique details.
If a product supports personalization, you'll see the available options directly on the product page.
Please allow more production time for personalized products. We may reach out if we have questions about your personalization.
Can I change my personalized order after placing it?
Maybe.
If you need to make a change, contact us within 24 hours of placing your order.
After that point, production may have already started and changes may no longer be possible.
Can I return a personalized product?
Because personalized products are custom-made specifically for you, they cannot be returned, refunded, or exchanged.
Please double-check all spelling, dates, and personalization details before placing your order.
That said, we are reasonable people that love pleasing our customers. We'll do our best to help you get a replacement if you really don't like your order.
What if my item arrives damaged or incorrect?
We'll make it right.
If your order arrives damaged, defective, or incorrect, contact us with photos of the issue and we'll work quickly to resolve it.
What if I don't love my order?
Most of our products are made to order, which means we generally cannot accept returns for buyer's remorse, ordering mistakes, or size selection issues.
That said, we're real people and we'd much rather have a conversation than hide behind policy language.
If something isn't right, reach out and we'll do our best to help.
Do you offer wholesale?
Yes.
We work with ski shops, mountain towns, gift stores, lodges, vacation rentals, and other retail partners.
