[https://www.silvertonmountain.com Silverton Mountain] opens this Saturday with no man-made snow, just knee-deep powder. [https://www.silvertonmountain.com Silverton] is the highest ski area in North America and has the elevation to thank for these early season freshies.
The mountain’s sole chairlift will be open this Saturday, allowing skiers access to nine different runs where powder stashes can be found left and right. However, this little ski area is not for the faint of heart. Besides the 13,487 ft elevation, [https://www.silvertonmountain.com Silverton] has no groomed runs and limits the number of tickets sold daily. This keeps the Colorado crowds away and provides skiers with “the most pure skiing experience one can find today†according to Chris Davenport. [https://www.silvertonmountain.com Silverton] offers guided and unguided tickets and requires that all skiers and snowboarders carry avalanche safety equipment.
Anyone interested in earning free unguided tickets to [https://www.silvertonmountain.com Silverton Mountain] can help pack out the avalanche paths for this coming season. Volunteers are asked to show up at the base at 9 a.m. Saturday with beacons, shovels and probes.
Silverton Mountain is the place to be this weekend for anyone tired of early season lift lines and battling down the white ribbon of death. Get to [https://www.silvertonmountain.com Silverton] and be one of the first skiers to rip some pow turns this season.
