Fui a mediados de abril. Si te gusta esquiar en nieve blanda con baches y vistas increíbles, ¡no te lo pierdas! La experiencia es inigualable. Los guías quizás intenten convencerte de hacer un par de descensos en helicóptero. No te cortes y di que sí. ¡Fue genial!

Esta estación de esquí es única. Fui durante la temporada de excursiones guiadas y solo había unos 80 esquiadores al día como máximo. Tengo que decir que llegué en condiciones casi perfectas, con unos 43 cm de nieve polvo fresca, buen tiempo y poco viento. El esquí fue fantástico. La seguridad siempre fue una prioridad. El primer día esquiamos principalmente entre árboles o en pistas estrechas. Cada día siguiente abrían nuevas pistas tras comprobar el riesgo de avalanchas. Los guías fueron increíbles y siempre buscaban buena nieve polvo para nosotros. Tuve unos 6 guías en 3 días y todos fueron excelentes y se esforzaron al máximo para que tu experiencia fuera inolvidable. El heliesquí fue genial. Todo el mundo fue muy amable, incluido el personal de la tienda. Con 57 años y sin experiencia en esquí de montaña, estaba un poco nervioso por si sería capaz. La página web no se equivoca al decir que es solo para esquiadores avanzados/expertos. Soy un esquiador de pistas negras y doble negras con buena experiencia en nieve polvo a lo largo de los años. En mi opinión, hay que sentirse cómodo esquiando entre árboles en pendientes pronunciadas, en pistas doble negras, en nieve polvo profunda, en nieve dura y con costra (en la cima de la montaña) y en todo tipo de condiciones intermedias. No tuve ningún problema esquiando, pero tampoco era el mejor. Lo peor. Para mí, lo más difícil fue la altitud a mi edad, no el esquí en sí. Pasé la semana anterior esquiando en Summit County, a gran altitud, para prepararme, y dos meses entrenando, algo que recomiendo. No recomiendo venir directamente desde el nivel del mar a menos que seas joven y estés en buena forma. Vi a gente de mi edad hacerlo y no fue fácil. Hay muchas pistas que requieren poca caminata, pero caminar 20 minutos o más no es raro y no es fácil a gran altitud. Lo pasé genial y recomiendo Silverton a cualquiera que busque una gran experiencia y un reto, pero infórmate bien y asegúrate de saber a qué te enfrentas.

Pasé 3 días en Silverton Mountain. Los guías son muy profesionales y amables. El terreno es impresionante. La operación está muy bien organizada.

Truly a special place. It’s not a resort; it’s a mountain meant for people who want a raw, real, incredible experience. The terrain is unmanaged (except for avalanche control) and will put your ego in check pretty quickly. The guides are amazing and are all so helpful and personable. We had Adam, Owen, and Rob and I can’t speak highly enough about all three of them. There is no lodge or apres scene but there is a heated tent with comfy chairs, plenty of beer, and shared stoke at the end of the day. We hung with our guides, staff, and other skiers/riders at the end of each day and it was the perfect way to cap off an incredible day of riding. There’s no cell service, which is also ideal because it lets you ride without distraction and really immerse yourself in the experience. When we were there it hadn’t snowed in two weeks but we still found plenty of powder. The steeps were amazing and the tree runs were absolutely incredible. Being from New England I love the trees and this place did not disappoint. All around a great, unique, special place. 100% will be returning next year.

Understand that this is still a ski resort. Much of the copy on the website and “death waiver” is meant to deter true intermediate level riders, who realistically wouldn’t enjoy skiing here anyway. With that said, the majority of the clientele during guided season are going to be “advanced” (i.e not expert or above). The guides will cater to the lowest common denominator in each group (understandably, because this is still a for-profit ski area, despite appearances) The way around this if you are an uppper level expert is to come with a pre-formed group (ideally of 8 riders). I personally don’t have 7 friends who ride at my level but you might. The other approach is to get there very early (at the tent ready to go when it opens at 8am) and advocate for yourself hard. The main things that will convince them to put you into a better group are avalanche training and back-country skills (because, again, this is a for-profit ski area and the #1 priority for them is to limit death and injury. They don’t really care how rad you get inbounds). I spoke to my guide and he was very candid in saying that they tend to lean conservative with what terrain they put people into. Familiarity with the place (multiple visits, actually having a relationship with some of the guides), along with significant avy-training are really the best ways to get them to loosen up on this.

Our experience at Silverton was truly amazing. Our guide was patient, knowledgeable, safety conscious, and encouraging. We had great snow, powder runs every time, and steep terrain. This place is all about the skiing/riding with no attitude and no frills. It doesn't have that hard core attitude but it is definitely expert terrain. We did 2 heli drops and that was like the cherry on top. So good we will be back!

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!

A super cool, super real underhyped hyper cool ski area for experts only. And for a good reason. The terrain is incredibly challenging and big. Nothing is groomed. It’s all natural. There is access to powder lines and stashes in the thick of winter. The only place in NA to access a single heli bump. Staff are killer. Apres is like winter camping.

Magical experience at Silverton, absolutely blown away with my day there. Group of 7 of us with a local fill in hanging with Krysta our guide (also makes some artwork/swag for the retail store check it out!) and getting all the goods. We scored HUGE with 3 days of snowfall before opening on a Thursday with nothing but fresh lines and fantastic riding. Krysta was a killer guide for the day with tons of knowledge of the terrain and safety procedure and brought us to some hidden gems in the trees on an otherwise high avy risk day. Silverton is not for the faint of heart; their logo is literally someone falling off a cliff for a reason, but for the experienced rider/skier looking to test themselves and visit a more remote (and staggeringly beautiful) area of CO, Silverton is a MUST for any salty powderhound who thinks they can hang with the big boys.
