Life is a highway, in Silverton the highway is a real high way, more than 11000 feet high. This elevation gained at the summit of Red Mountain Pass offers a great starting point for skiing. That's old news. The new news is that even in an economic recession skiing is still fun! I may not be able to buy a full new setup, but I bet if I scrape my change jar I can get enough for new roll of duct tape to patch up my ski pants. Sure, there is a little more gear involved than duct tape, but true BC skiing can be a pretty affordable recreation. And recreation is still important, it's all in the word re- create, we all need this. Cool mountain air and the thrill of schusshing renews our sense of what's important. So forsake buying some cheap plastic stuff and instead consider a trip to Silverton. Mountain Goat offers the most affordable ski guide service in the state. We have access to a great lodge, the St. Paul, much improved. Hotels in town are downright cheap and the snow is already getting deep. Oh yeah, most of our permit area is out of cell range so you can have a real vacation!
