Skiing Silver Mountain - What can you say about a resort where you get off I-90, park at the bottom and take a gondola 3 miles to the ski area? Absolutely everything!

This excellent mountain is one choice for great skiing at a great price for the Western Washington/Idaho area. The beginner area has a rope tow and is short and narrow compared to other mountains, but the green runs near it are long and wide (perhaps a little too long for real newbies). Most of the ‘greens’ here are just cat tracks that have other runs dumping into them, so beginners beware! Ross’ Run, under the gondola, is the best place for beginners to be practicing. Advanced skiers can hike Wardner peak for their turns or take some runs off of Chair 4. It gets a little windblown, but worth the effort.

This is one of my favorite resorts as it hasn’t got a crowd problem…….yet. A years visitors at Silver is equal to the number of people who ski Wachussett, MA in a weekend…… do the math. Uncrowded and simple, and sure to be a favorite of yours, too.   Bonni
