Bitch!!!

So, is the lift-served at Silverton worth the price of admission?

**ex-powderbroker** · 01-25-2019, 07:27 PM

based on my one day there five years ago i would say definitely.

**eskido** · 01-25-2019, 07:34 PM

For unguided? Definitely. For guided ($$$$)... to each his own I’d say. They’ve certainly been having one hell of a year.

Guided is same price as Vail and Aspen, slightly different terrain.

I'll be there furberglin'. Some unguided powder would be great.

**Egreenaw** · 01-28-2019, 12:04 PM

Since they are only open weekends(closed mon-wed), its a safe bet thur. and friday will be good guided. If the back Couloirs are skiing, a Heli bump($175) is worth a day at Vail in my opinion.
Heli wasn't bad friday(1/25)

Definitely worth the price of admission. April 1, 2016 first lift day of season unguided was without doubt my best start to finish lift served day I have had.

Had hoped to make it this year, but float trip on the Green in May with the wife won out.

**skideeppow** · 01-28-2019, 04:18 PM

Hands down some of the best skiing around.
I used to go down every Christmas, i had the entire place to myself. All the lift access runs are incredible.
I was there on a Sunday, and there were 8 other people on the mountain. I guess that is why they dont do unguided in Dec anymore, just no skier turnout.

**ex-powderbroker** · 01-28-2019, 05:25 PM

yeah, i’m expecting a few more on line that third weekend in march but stoked at how fat the base is getting.

3$ pints at the yurt, let’s party!

**coriendejong@yahoo.com** · 01-28-2019, 05:55 PM

silverton and vail don't compare. don't understand why vail keeps coming up in this thread.

**SKIP IN7RO** · 01-28-2019, 06:13 PM

^They are comparing ticket price.

I’ll be there March 20-24th. You the same?

If there’s a mag meetup there was some renovated mining camp on Airbnb that slept a small army for cheap.

yea, i have the same dates pretty much. already grabbed a room at the prospector but that place looks sweet.

**Vt-Freeheel** · 01-30-2019, 07:14 PM

In for 20-24th at the Prospector.

**neufox47** · 01-30-2019, 11:10 PM

Sweet. I have a group of 4 already. We are staying at some Airbnb in town. Pm me if you guys want to meet up.

**tahoearmada** · 01-30-2019, 11:16 PM

**TEXASS** · 01-31-2019, 08:00 AM

If your gonna pay to go downhill on snow this is by far the best place in The lower 48 to do that

Hands Down x2

**Vt-Freeheel** · 02-20-2019, 04:07 PM

I met neufox47 and he mentioned this to me.

Coincidentally, my roadtrip's flexible itinerary puts me only 2 hours away at Telluride for March 18-24, so it seems like I should choose 1 day to hit Silverton...either to ski, or even just as a rest day to hangout at the base and experience the Silverton apres-ski vibe with y'all. Maybe Thurs Mar 21 after all you passholders track it up on the Wed "passholders only" day...or maybe a different day that weekend to time the conditions.

And my car will be full of huge skis for borrowing (the Ski Lending Library idea).
