Silver Hills

Silver Hills is an abandoned ski area located in Colorado's high country, now primarily of historical interest to ski enthusiasts and backcountry adventurers. The dormant resort terrain offers opportunities for backcountry skiing and snowboarding during winter months, with access to ungroomed alpine slopes and couloirs for experienced skiers seeking off-the-beaten-path terrain. During summer and fall, the area transforms into a hiking and mountaineering destination, with trails traversing subalpine meadows and providing access to surrounding peaks and ridges. The location's elevation and exposure make it subject to significant avalanche hazard in winter and sudden weather changes year-round, requiring proper preparation and experience.
