As your cozy retreat nearby, The Silverton Lodge is here to give you the inside scoop on making the most of your ski adventure at this unique destination.

The Unmatched Terrain

Silverton Mountain Resort is not your typical ski area. With one chairlift transporting you into a world of advanced and expert terrain, it offers an unparalleled skiing experience that's as close to backcountry as it gets while still within a managed resort. The mountain's terrain is a treasure trove of steep faces, tight chutes, and pristine powder that challenges even the most seasoned skiers.


Guided Skiing for the Ultimate Experience

One of the unique aspects of Silverton Mountain is its guided skiing program. Especially during the heart of the winter season, skiing with a guide is mandatory, ensuring that all guests not only find the best snow but also navigate the mountain safely. This guided approach adds an educational layer to your adventure, offering insights into mountain safety, avalanche awareness, and, of course, leading you to the secret stashes of snow.


Gear Up

Given Silverton Mountain's rugged terrain, proper gear is non-negotiable. While you can bring your own, the mountain also offers a range of high-quality rental options to ensure you're well-equipped for the slopes. From powder skis to avalanche safety gear, having the right equipment is key to maximizing your enjoyment and safety.

After a thrilling day on the slopes, Silverton's charm continues to unfold downtown. Just a short drive from the mountain, the town offers the perfect backdrop for your après-ski activities.
