It's built for advanced and expert skiers and riders only, with no groomed runs, no cut trails and a single double chairlift that unloads at about 12,300 feet. The area reports 1,819 acres of lift-accessed terrain and 1,900 feet of lift-served vertical, with higher terrain reachable on foot.
The mountain is known for guided skiing, a season of unguided skiing in the spring, and heli-skiing, and avalanche safety gear is required on the lift. Silverton reports 400-plus inches of snow in a typical year. If you're used to resort grooming, this is a completely different day on snow.
Silverton Mountain opened on January 19, 2002. It isn't part of the Epic, Ikon, Mountain Collective or Indy passes, though Mountain Collective passholders can get a partner discount. Because of the terrain and avalanche conditions, look at the guided and unguided options and today's Silverton Mountain ski conditions before you plan a trip.
