Colorado Resort add updates for 201213!
Silverton Mountain, Durango and Howelson Hill all announce improvements for the new season!
Silverton Mountain will begin hiking access, and heli drops for an upgrade fee, to new runs that require rappels in or out of couloirs and/or big snowy aprons. This will allow access to places like the Mad Dog, Close Out Couloirs off Storm Peak, and the Hidden Valley – a large, open powdery bowl with no accessibility except via a 100 ft. rappel. The new activity is $425 per person and promises the adventure of a lifetime.
Howelsen Hill will be introducing a new Super PoleCat snow gun to facilitate the hill’s snowmaking ability.
Durango Mountain Resort has partnered with ski manufacturer Rossignol to open a Rossignol Experience Center. The Durango Mountain Resort Ski School has been trained by Rossignol to incorporate the new Experience technology into their lesson programs, minimizing the learning curve and getting resort skiers and riders out and enjoying the entire mountain quicker than ever.
