Learned how to post pics, now how can I rotate them. I would post more this tech shit and I don’t get along.
We met Waco the bus driver dressed in leather pants and some fur hat and jacket.
1st heli ski for me in a solid 30 mph wind on the ridge.
Both of our guides were amazing and did not disappoint.
Silverton is a special place for sure.
I'm heading there in two weeks. Stoked and slightly gripped to be honest.
I rotated your pic in photo editor and re-uploaded. Maybe that'll work?

Man - don't sweat it. They have some nice terrain, but there ain't nothin' to be gripped about.Quote:

Man, Silverton is on the wish list. Glad you had the chance, and got the goods. Only fitting that any post that includes you and a heli is immune from any Jong comments!
Try reducing the size of you image (i.e., if it's 3000 mb, change ut to 2000). This has worked for me when posting high resulution porn in Padded Room.

Its a pretty special place.
Never turn down a chance to ski Silverton. Sprite world is the best description, as for the terrain, they have it all cover steeps trees and high alpine. Not going to lie my mind is blown.
Check this out:

March 17-21
March 24-28

edit: that's 26 days of skiing for $99. Do the math.
Are not they these guys? Just saying. Before you pay up front, know the conditions (not talking snow)

.
A Silverton trip is in no way the financial committment of an Alaskan heli trip. A ride in a heli for $59, is small potatoes.
Risking $100 with a reward of $4/day lift ticket?
Nitwits gonna nit.
The $240 pass is a steal, especially with A-Basin, Monarch and Powderhorn, but $140 for Silverton only + heli drop is a no brainer.
Wait, what?Quote:

I'm sure with a rad crew you get to ski technical stuff. But if you just rock up and get put in with a group -- they aren't going to throw mandatory dicey moves at ya.Quote:

I am not a fan but this seems like a good deal. Could not fine much about reservations on their site. Appears you need them. So do they have a limit each day on skiers? Can you just reserve everyday of the season?
I have limited days getting put in random groups (our party had 3 people), but I have experienced it both ways. Get paired with the rookie guide and the fresh off the plane Floridian, it's Cabin & Tiger Main time. Get paired with the rippers from Telluride, Flagstaff and an OG guide, and it's technical turns in Two Smokes & Nightmare. Both experiences were great, but one was far more memorable.Quote:

sick deal, newb question: can you just show up on those days like any other place or do you have to reserve/group up?
can you ski solo at silverton?
You just show up. Those are the unguided days. On those days it operates like any other ski area except that you need to carry B.C. gear. You can ski solo.Quote:

$84 includes full day lift ticket only
Reservations close 24 hours before the ski day.
See more on our Unguided Experience here
seems to me the are implying they limit ticket sales
Right, they do in theory but I highly doubt they’ve ever had to actually turn anyone away. Regardless, I think he was referring to the season pass

^ yep, for a sec i was like wait, the 99$ pass lets you buy an 84$ lift pass? yeah no. thx for the info.
is this the 1st time the 99$ option has been avail? guess i'm skiing silverton next year..
looks like 475 skiers on unguided days. 80 on guided days. My point is. This seems like a good deal. I imagine there are skiers in Montrose, ridgeway. ouray and Durango who would never think of buying a ticket. But for $100 if you get four days it is a descent deal. Also the expended days help as you might be able to avoid front range weekend warriors and better snow windows. I would imagine they do not sell out 475 that often but I don't really know.
Don't get confused.Quote:

The Base Pass option does not include partner mountain days.
For another $136 you get a bunch of days at partner resorts and half price standby guided days.

To my knowledge, yes, it's never been this inexpensive and they've never been open 5 days a week for more than 1 week.Quote:

Reservations are not required but they can impose a cut off at 475 skiers on a given day, so reservations are encouraged.
bang. trigger pulled. see you there.
would be cool to do a mag buy out of silverton.
die living bitches:)

Thank You Buster! I just got my 99 dollar pass. Been to Silverton once for the Silverton Splitfest . Spent one day at Silverton Mountain unguided . Best Ski Area I have ever been to . This bu is a no-brainer
Might be the best deal in skiing right now...
The real question is if I buy the upgrade, are the $2 PBRs 12oz or tallboys:
Add a Powder Pass UPGRADE for only an additional $36 to your Premium Pass (not available with Base Pass).
Premium Pass Powder Upgrade Includes:
- $89 Standby Guided Skiing/Snowboarding during Guided Season.
- Option to purchase a second $39 heli run on a second day. Heli runs must be on separate dates. ($39 heli run only if booked prior to 8.31.20). Powder Upgrade Heli run pricing increases to $59 after 8.31.20.
- $2 PBRs all season
- 5% Discount on Alaska heli skiing with Silverton Mountain Guides for the months of November, December and January.
I wouldn't drink PBR if you were paying me $2/beer to drink it. That being said, these early season passes are a screaming deal.
^^bump^^. $99 spring pass

Bump cause I am moving to the Western Slope and I finally convinced myself to buy the unguided pass to balance out the Epic(tm) shitshow that will now be my life.
If you're gonna be at Silverton this spring, lets go skiing!
^ i forgot i bought it that s how cheap it is. sup w the move? wife? life?
Been wanting to get back to small town living for a while and the wife got a good job offer. Real estate market is nutzo here in UT so that helped make the decision too.Quote:

Good bump - a cold bootpack to Rope 2 would hit the spot right now
I should have a mini crew down there for the last week in March. Maybe another guided + heli trip in February, we’ll see.
Get stoked - it’s a special place.
