Silverton Mountain Spring Pass

Has anyone seen this shit?!?!

http://silvertonmountain.com/shop/season-passes/unguided-season-pass/

$149, includes 3 days at Smugg's & 3 days at MRG... Plus, if you do get out to Silverton next Spring, you get free skiing, $2 beers, and a $39 Heli Drop.

I saw it yesterday and know of at least one friend who is jumping on it.

Silverton looks very hard to get to and lodging looks scarce.

The 3 days and summgs/MR are worth the 150 bucks

Yea- I thing I would have to look at it as a pass sans Silverton

I've stayed and skied in Silverton before, but thanks for the opinion, I guess.

Good Tunes along with a couple of jump turns.  Silverton is on my list.

It's awesome. I already bought an IKON pass, but with the Smugg's/MRG days and the $39 Heli drop, I'm now thinking about nixing my fall trip and taking a huge (4-5 week) skiing road trip in March/April. Hey nepa, if you're reading this, can you give me a tour of Mission Ridge?

Were did you stay and how did you get there?
No snark - genuiney interested. I have thought about it but always end up at Alta/Bird

Flew into Phoenix (my brother was living in Scottsdale at the time). Long drive to Silverton, stayed here:

From there, we took the beautiful drive past Ouray to Telluride. Then back to Durango Mountain Resort (formerly Purgatory), then back to Durango to party with some of my brother's friends that lived there. Then back to Phoenix by way of the Grand Canyon.
