Replying to Silverton CO
looking at silverton as a potential ski trip this year and just wondering if anyone has skied there before. at first glance, it looks pretty intense, so i'm curious how feasible it is or is not. for reference, i've skied areas like the ridge at bridger bowl, big sky, the palisades at squaw, jackson headwall, mary's nipple at targhee, etc. i have my aiare 1 and have a bit of backcountry experience, did a tour on mt. washington in february of last year.
we're looking at silverton because i'm pretty tired of missing good snow/storm cycles and would like a better shot at great snow. i'm not necessarily interested in getting into super hazardous terrain, but am definitely not afraid of steep and technical.
just curious what others' experiences at silverton have been like.
