I met the owner at the trade show in Vegas like 20 years ago when he was just getting it started. I always wondered exactly what was going on there. Thx!
Very cool, moving to CS in June, looking to really get into skiing/MTB once there. I'll drive the camperVan up and ski a couple days when snow hits, kinda a long drive for a 2 days trip. PS, got an Epic pass, so maybe we will ski a run together :)))
Cool video. I live over against the east San Juans which are the la Garitas. Been exploring alot and grew up skiing wolf Creek. I did alot of back country up in Jones pass which was steep and sweet. Used a sled to drop off at the top. I see I need to make it here..
Silverton is awesome! Though the steepest skiing in Colorado is in Crested Butte. I rode that Silverton lift when it was in Mammoth CA. Fun note; they held speed skiing comps in Velocity Basin, way before the ski area was there.
When you say some runs could be intermediate, do mean like east coast single diamonds or actual squares? Signed, East coastie. Really would love to experience this place but damn it’s intimidating. BTW, I just ordered a set of Adapts today after trying a buddy’s last weekend. Look forward to the nice designs.
Having skied 6 inches of powder there this last week I'm trying to think of a green or blue run and nothing comes to mind. It's a different place. There arent really any children and very few women even. Just a lot of committed dudes with facial hair, radios, beacons and then the heli drops are another world.
“Conditions suck, so we’re in the parking lot drinking beer.” Best laugh! Thank you!

Great video. I love Silverton, we stay at the Avon hotel which is an experience in itself

It's worth it! You're decently close to Monarch, Breck, Loveland, A Basin, etc. from CS...

That Silverton lift is from Mammoth? That's so funny, Mammoth is my favorite mountain.
Looks amazing!
It's worth the trip!
Snow conditions aside, sum bitch this looks amazing! On the checklist. Thanks for the info. Good vid✌
Mountain bikers have a certain way of skiing. Fewer mogul makers make it better for wild souls - right? All the best, frever!
it's funny to here Silverton referred to as a "resort". It's a ski area, yes, but not so sure it's a ski "resort"
Ha, fair point. Definitely not a resort in the traditional sense!
What vest were you all using? Whatvest?
Yes, exactly! The Side Hustle. Great for short tours and lift accessed OB.
Im from oklahoma, been skiing a dozen times or so, 60ish days of experience. Im skiing silverton this year, so help me!

There is beginner terrain for sure!
