A few corrections for your readers. Most of January, February, and March remain guided-only at Silverton Mountain, but December, early January, and April are unguided at about 40% of the price of guided skiing/riding. There is snowcat skiing available in Silverton (silvertonpowdercats) but not at the ski area itself. And finally, while my most precious possession is my made-in-Silverton Venture Storm Splitboard, all hiking at Silverton Mountain is bootpacking and requires no splitboards, snowshoes, or AT gear of any kind. Just bring your beacons, probes, and shovels if you've got 'em . . . rent 'em from the ski area if you don't.
