Here are the words straight out of the mouths from those who love to ski and board Silverton Mountain.  If you want to Ski Silverton Mountain (link to epic pics) you will want to read this.  There is nothing like the euphoria of a solid ski adventure.  The rewarding feeling that comes with complete exhaustion lingers like the feeling after eating a beautiful steak.

"Silverton is a soulful touch of what the culture if skiing is truly about. 
Leaving behind the glitz and stepping into nature with a group of friends to
overcome obstacles in a healthy environment.  The beauty is in the
simplicity of Silverton Mountain.  It is a hut trip with a chairlift."
Chris Anthony, Professional Skier Warren Miller Film Star, Vail, Colorado

"Silverton Mountain is pretty close to the most pure skiing experience one can find today,  an epic mountain, bountiful snowfall (the deep and light Colorado kind!), and none of the distractions of other ski areas (crowds!)  Silverton is like heli-skiing with a chairlift!”
Chris Davenport, Professional Skier-Red Bull athlete, Aspen Colorado

"If you're taking the family and are looking forward to après ski, shopping and crowds - go somewhere else.  When you are ready ski – I mean really ski - grab an avalanche beacon and a shovel and head to Silverton Mountain (link to Silverton powder shots).  We're booking the trip for the next 20 years...in advance!"
Randy Reiff, NY, NY

“I was impressed at how your staff manages the placement of groups so that no one feels crowded by other people, maintaining the backcountry feel.  The emphasis on getting fresh tracks for everyone on every lap was great.  I liked the way the guides communicated to relay where fresh snow could still be found.  Your operation is running like a well-oiled machine.  It all added up to great day at Silverton Mountain.”
Ben Pritchett, Crested Butte Colorado

"Silverton Mountain is a fantastic mix of the modern steep and deep free-riding experience and a simple throwback to the days of skiing lore when ski areas were the sole domain of passionate snow-sliders. Silverton offers a unique guided backcountry skiing experience similar to cat-skiing at the cost and safety levels of lift-accessed skiing. Silverton defines the pure essence of snow-sliding: great terrain, great conditions, wonderful people!”
Ben Gibson, Montreal, Canada.
