Silverthorne Winter Activities

With four distinct, world-renown ski resorts within a 20-minute drive of each other, Summit County offers some of the most diverse terrain and best winter amenities available in the world. Just a 30 minute drive to the West over Vail pass you'll enter into the world famous Vail Valley with the resorts of Vail and Beaver Creek.

From the untracked steeps of the legendary Arapahoe Basin, to night skiing at Keystone, to Copper's naturally divided terrain and Breckenridge's four unique peaks ant the vast expansive terrain of Vail the region has something to offer every winter sports enthusiast. And just in case you want to try it all in one trip, the free local transit systems provides easy access to and from nearly all of the resorts. So whether you're an expert snowboarder (each resort has a specialized snowboard park), a never-ever beginner (look for Copper Mountain's free-skiing-for-beginners program), an extreme skier (A-Basin's Palivacinni is a must), or your favorite part of the sport is après-ski (Breckenridge or Vail is the place to be), you'll find exactly what you're looking for right here in the Central Colorado Rockies.

The slopes are not the only places you can enjoy yourself in Summit County. Some other winter activities we have are: dog sledding, ice skating, cross-country skiing, sleigh riding, snowmobiling, hunting, fishing, horseback riding, gold mine tours, and gambling. They don't call this Colorado's Playground for nothing!
