Silverton Full Day Backcountry Ski/Splitboard Touring

The San Juan Mountains around Silverton offer an extensive variety of ski terrain suitable for different skill levels and preferences. Skiers and riders can enjoy playful tree runs in the Cement Creek area or challenge themselves on bigger mountain lines off King Solomon and Kendall Mountain when conditions permit. The region’s expansive backcountry provides opportunities for both relaxed exploration and more adventurous descents, making it an ideal destination for winter enthusiasts.

Guides customize each experience based on participants’ abilities and current avalanche conditions. Early in the season, lower-angle powder runs in the trees and open bowls are generally safer and more enjoyable, while later in the spring, steeper couloirs and faces become accessible as conditions improve. This approach ensures a safe, rewarding, and memorable backcountry skiing experience in the spectacular San Juan Mountains.
