On Sunday my brother and I made the two hour drive from Telluride to Silverton and it was well worth it. Â It was extra sweet because Telluride only received seven inches from the last storm and Silverton received 28. Needless to say, it was deep. Â With the cold temperatures, really cold temperatures (-18 driving into the resort at 10am) it truly was bottomless powder. I also lucked out because my friend Pete Connolly, aka: Sneaky Pete, Aka: Pedro is a guide at Silverton and he was able to show my brother and I all the secret stashes. Pete is an excellent skier and if you want to do a guided trip at Silverton Pete is your guy. AND Silverton has the cheapest heli drops in the country. $159 for one drop or $1000 for the day. Really, you won’t beat that anywhere.
