The billionaire Reed Hastings remembers visiting Storm King Art Center in the Hudson Valley a couple of decades ago.
“Walking around there got my curiosity going,” said Hastings, the co-founder and former chief executive of Netflix, noting that his wife, Patty Quillin, grew up near the outdoor sculpture mecca. “It changed my perspective on what art is.”
Now, Hastings is announcing an ambitious outdoor art program at the ski resort he recently bought, Powder Mountain in Eden, Utah.
It began with the installation of two pieces: the duo Gerard & Kelly’s “Relay (Powder Mountain)” and “We’ll All Go Together” by Susan Philipsz. The next works will be installed this winter, with the full slate planned for a 2026 grand opening.

The artworks can be skied to or hiked to, and are open to the public. This winter’s debuts include commissioned pieces by EJ Hill, best known for his ridable indoor roller coaster work at Mass MoCA, who will create art on the ski lifts, and the Los Angeles sculptor Davina Semo, who is making three large-scale bells that produce different tones when rung.
