Locally we were expecting a higher price increase. Glad the heli drop is a bit more but still no reason to do your drop in April vs the first weekend of unguided.

Still one of the best deals in skiing as long as you hit more than one weekend and a partner day or two.

Glad to hear it was a good weekend for folks around here. I am pretty sure I met some of mags this weekend. Couple folks came into the shop and then at the Wyman Bar.

That was a me and a buddy. Good meeting and chatting w ya. Glad to hear you’re pretty much back at it. Hopefully you get some good days in before it wraps for the year.

Got my base unguided pass. Stoked for next spring.

Looks like new owners are responding to overcrowding of unguided season:

We are limiting the number of Base Passes sold and making improvements around the mountain. This is your mountain; we want you to get the most out of it.

Welcome change. Keep it up fellas.

Can't remember - is the additional lift still on the menu? Or did the sale delay/put the kibosh on that improvement?

I noticed it's only the base pass that is "limited". Seems possible total pass sales won't be less if people just shift to the premium pass.

I think/hope it is just delayed.

BTW emails went out for discounted heli bump scheduling today.

Interested to hear how this first weekend of unguided goes with new ownership and a decent storm.

[Wes Mantooth]

Skied there thurs-sun. Didn’t notice any changes in ops with the new ownership but lines/crowds weren’t as bad as this weekend last year

As usual silverton delivered and the skiing was awesome every day. Proper pow day Friday and then refills from some new snow and wind loading to keep things excellent sat and sun. It’s such an awesome place. I’ve never had a bad day there

Yesterday was great, crowds were lighter than I expected.

The lift didn't open until 10 due to mechanical issues but I forgot all about that by the second lap.

Shout out to Asmileyface for calling out my buddy for his pivot forward pressure being way off in the lift line and then playing mobile ski tech. Don't get your bindings mounted at REI.

[Wes Mantooth]

I think the bump in heli prices helped too since there wasn’t a massive mob of people up top waiting for their drops. I also didn’t see the usual insane line down the stairs for day tickets/heli check in

Saturday was the busiest day but still chill compared to last year. Maybe management is on to something but hard to compare due to all the mechanical issues last year on the biggest day

Bump for the two weeks of unguided, three more to go.

Unguided skiing has been excellent so far Wednesday was on the best days of the season followed by the refresh on Fri/Sat that kept things soft all week. Big warmup the next few days before another cycle of storms starting around the 30th? I am down for slushy tiger laps or pow either way. Silverton/RMP zone is the only area of the San Juans around or above average snowpack. It's rough down south, but our pack is holding strong up high.

The mountain is definitely less of a shitshow than the past few seasons. Helps when there are double the tent/base area staff and a plan in place to handle the crowds. The increase in price of the single drop product and general low snow in the southwest has meant less skiers than normal. I feel like skiing Silverton is less cool than it was during those post COVID crazy years. Why go to Silverton in a below average winter when you can go to Japan or Jackson? Been a tough winter in town for the businesses, but the skiing product and unguided vibes are better for it.

Next years passes are up on the website, but have not been officially announced yet. Biggest change is the single drop is now 99 on the cheap pass. Sounds like the advice of bumping the price of the single drop stuck, curious to see if we see a drop in passes purchased again next season or if Silverton cycles back to being cool again.

We took 29 athletes and 6 coaches from the Loveland Freeride Team to Silverton yesterday. Such an awesome day and an amazing experience for our athletes, many of whom are now hooked on the raw beauty and amazing skiing afforded by the San Juan.

^^^ every good dealer knows how to gain clientele.&nbsp; nice work</p>

wanted to get down there this year but not in cards since acl.&nbsp; maybe next year.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

[Name Redacted]

I dont think Silverton has lost fans, this year is just a tough one to justify The trip when they have low tide and other places up north dont. Thats my reason for not making it down. Last year was packed and the snow was great. I will try to make it down i. The next few weeks. Might work the beer fest for my buddy’s brewery.

[Wes Mantooth]

The funny thing is I’d say we had better skiing overall this year than last. All the same stuff was open and had plenty of coverage and it stayed good for longer due to little refreshes and wind. But on paper yeah it was a tougher sell. We’re lucky to be a relatively easy drive away so it was less of a commitment to roll the dice
