December 10, 2008 —
The accolades for this pioneering resort continue to come. It was rated No. 1 in steeps and No. 1 in powder in the USA by Skiing Magazine in 2003-2004, Top Ski Resort by 5280 Magazine, and the “Top Extreme Ski Experience” by the Rocky Mountain News.
With Silverton Mountain, the old saying usually holds true: “If you have to ask, you’ll never know.” Colorado’s newest resort is expert-only, and has created quite a buzz over the past few years in such circles. It is a one-lift, backcountry experience for riders dedicated to powder. If conditions are right, the available terrain can get as scary – and hairy – as a rider can handle.
