SILVERTON, CO

NASTC is heading to Silverton, the mecca for expert lift-served adventure skiing. You know the feeling at a big resort on a powder day: "gotta get our there...sweet, I got one run in before it was all tracked out." This is not how it should be, and Silverton offers the opposite: with no big development, no high speed lifts, and no crowds, Silverton is how skiing used to be, plus it's full of mind-blowing terrain. Silverton offers you the chance to ski "that peak over there but there is no lift and I really can't climb the whole thing right now." More good news: Silverton has done all this with positive long-term environmental impact. This course is for advanced skiers who want to experience the bliss of endless backcountry powder and "the most pure skiing experience America offers." It's the real deal, and NASTC will take you there safely plus improve your turns while you are truly "out there."

Price: $2595 dbl / $2795 sgl
