Silverton Mountain Ski Resort

Located in Silverton, Colorado, and opened in 2002, Silverton Mountain is an advanced and expert skier and rider only mountain. One double chairlift accesses 1,819 acres of the steepest and deepest un-groomed powder. An additional 22,000 acres are accessible by hiking and helicopter. All lift tickets during the winter include a guide. In the spring, unguided skiing is allowed. 

The unique experience of Silverton is that of an extreme terrain backcountry adventure, and certain times of the season will not allow unguided skiing or snowboarding. Averaging an annual snowfall of 400”+, the resort limits unguided skiers and riders to 475 skiers or less a day to encourage ecological balance. Everyone is required to carry an avalanche beacon, probe pole, and shovel (rentals are available). Guided tours, plus heli-skiing is available. Avalanche training is not required.
