Twelve lifts take you around Silver Star, which features 3,282 acres (1,328 hectares) of snow terrain with 130 runs and 3 wonder carpets for the kids. The resort is a good place to improve your skills and build confidence gliding on the snow and maintaining speed moving downhill. The ski school here is especially renowned for the quality of its instructors and methods.
Look for excitement on the 1,900 acres (770 hectares) of Putnam Creek, on the back side of Silver Star Mountain, for more advanced runs. For an extra challenge, head to Rockstar Terrain Park to learn snowboard tricks and hone your skills with jumps, boxes, rails and aerial features.

In the colder months, skate on the frozen pond and enjoy tubing, snowmobiles, sleigh rides and bowling, too.

Hike across the slopes through fields of wildflowers or soar over the valley on the Scenic Summit SkyChair.
