Silverton Mountain 18-19 - Expanded Unguided and Killer Heli Deal

**Buster Highmen** · 06-28-2018, 05:44 PM

June 28, 2018…. In what must be the best deal ever in Skiing, Silverton Mountain is now offering $39 Heli Skiing, an exclusive Private Mountain Day, and 42 FREE DAYS with its Season Passes!

Silverton Mountain is rolling out a big expansion to its $149 Unguided Season Passholders for 2018/19.

The upcoming spring unguided season at Silverton Mountain will now begin at its earliest time ever on March 21, 2019 and run Thursday-Sunday through April 14, 2019.

That is a 166% increase in available ski days to the unguided season and yet the early bird Spring Unguided Pass price remains unchanged at only $149.

The $149 Spring Unguided Season Pass (early bird purchase price) includes the spring unguided season at Silverton Mountain, plus an exclusive private mountain day on March 20th, a $39 heli drop, 42 Free Days at partner resorts across the US, $89 guided Skiing*, and discounts on premium draft beers throughout the season. Partner resorts include some of the best “core” ski areas, as the corporate ski industry landscape continues to homogenize by the day.

On Wednesday, March 20th, season passholders will have exclusive private access to the mountain for a day of Skiing before opening the unguided season to the public beginning on March 21st.

Silverton Mountain will be open Thurs-Sun (including Monday, Presidents Day) during the entire guided and unguided season. Silverton Mountain is slated to open with heli skiing available November 24, 2018. Guided season will begin December 27, 2018 and Unguided season starts March 21, 2019.
Only a very limited number of early bird $149 Unguided Season Passes will be sold for the 2018-19 season. Until August 1s t (or when the very limited supplies run out), you can purchase your Unguided Pass for only $149 (regular price $499). * $89 guided skiing discounts are on standby basis.

OK so there was a pinchfest last year about the reduced unguided season. Here's something different. Will there be accolades?

Oh snap .

**OregonDead** · 06-28-2018, 06:19 PM

So the $39 Heli drops come with the unguided pass? Almost seems like I can afford to plan a heli ski trip.

*a $39 heli drop

I'm reading that as 1 cheap heli drop total

**hutash** · 06-28-2018, 06:28 PM

That's a heli drop, not drops. I assume you get one at $39, but others at full pop??? Still a good deal.

edit: North beat me to it.

**hatchgreenchile** · 06-28-2018, 06:30 PM

Nice. Silverton rules !

**Buster Highmen** · 06-28-2018, 06:42 PM

I read it as 1 $39 heli drop:

Lets hope they have a good season this year

**Buster Highmen** · 06-29-2018, 08:59 AM

Presidents day is their busiest time...is this what you're suggesting for a BBI?

**Peruvian** · 06-29-2018, 09:03 AM

Damn - 3 days at Smuggs and 3 at MRG is worth $149 alone.

**adrenalated** · 06-29-2018, 12:22 PM

I bitched about Silverton last year and am glad to hear they are expanding the unguided season.
I would still love for them to bring back early season unguided but this is a great start.

I think three days at either resort is worth it. A three day MRG ticket last season was $207 (walk-up rate).

**Shredhead** · 06-30-2018, 01:29 PM

Done. I’d like to storm chase some standby guided Thursday’s too!

**cat in january** · 07-08-2018, 05:30 PM

Done as well. Glad they opened the unguided up earlier. I am a season pass holder again!

Much prefer Silverton unguided, hope to make it out but the 3 days at MRG makes the pass alone. Definitely would plunk down $39 for a chopper ride. Anyone know how that works in unguided? Do you have a guide with you? Do they just drop you for the meadow skipping?

Monarch plus Silverton for a week of skiing is a pretty good ticket deal too.

**Pa. patroller** · 07-08-2018, 06:19 PM

Done for me as well. Wondering do you have to schedule the heli ahead of time? Any one know if i could ride Fruita co. On the way there in late march ?

98% chance you can ride Fruita in late March.

**Danno** · 07-08-2018, 07:59 PM

Silverton is gonna get crushed with crowds.

Bingo .......

**Vets** · 07-09-2018, 10:27 AM

This deal was too good to pass up. I can break even with three days at Homewood. I hope to get in more days at other resorts on this pass as well as get a chance to experience Silverton for the first time.

**greenmachine** · 07-09-2018, 05:57 PM

Titties

**Tri-Ungulate** · 07-09-2018, 09:17 PM

The 3 days at Bohemia were the kicker for me.

Wonder about this. Pass still looks like it is for sale. Standby could get tough in regular season. Anyone know if off season will have skier limits and if so do day ticket holders get first dibs?

That was the first thing I thought...great minds and all that!!!!

**Buster Highmen** · 09-11-2018, 02:35 PM

By "off season" do you mean unguided season?

Here's this: http://silvertonmountain.com/shop/gu...faqs/#unguided .

So 475 tickets is max per day. I don't know if it's ever been hit.

For guided season, try to make a reservation and get wait listed, so they can try to get resources.

Hold on and someone with authority might answer.
