John Crawford

We are heading to Silverton in 10 days time, for our 3rd visit in 5 years. We love the place and can't wait to go back. Great terrain, great snow and a great, laid back vibe. The check-in/apres-ski tent, rental gear from an old bus and "music festival toilets" in the car park only add to the charm. We have skied there for 8 days previously and the 4 or 5 guides that we had were all fantastic. They were all extremely safety conscious and were great people to spend a day with. Flying in from sea level, we always opt for the slow hiking group and have always found the pace to be good for us. We usually get in 4 runs a day but on our last visit managed a day with 5 runs. We enjoy steep runs (but are certainly not extreme terrain skiers) and always enjoy incredible terrain at Silverton. The fact that all runs are skied one skier at a time adds to the adventure - in that on some runs the guide (and rest of the group) may be out of sight, around a corner, giving you what feels like a true lone experience in the backcountry. On my last day on our last visit, my wife was ill in bed and the other 7 guests in my group called it a day after 4 runs. That last run will stay in my memory forever. It was an incredible experience, with fresh snow dumping down and a foot of untracked powder for only the guide and me!
