Summit County · Colorado
A considered starting point for mountain days, community time, and local exploration.
Silverthorne & Summit County
Begin with the ski mountains of Summit County, then discover high-country golf, days on Dillon Reservoir and trails through the aspens. Silverthorne, Frisco and Dillon offer their own pleasures in every season, from riverside walks to an evening at the theatre.
Explore winter first, return for summer, or find an experience to enjoy throughout the year.
01 / Your seasonal guide
Make time for the mountain resorts, a quiet Nordic trail or a guided outing beyond the slopes. These winter experiences depend on snow, ice and each operator’s season.
01 / Keystone · Breckenridge · Copper · A-Basin
Choose a mountain for the day: Keystone, Breckenridge, Copper Mountain and Arapahoe Basin each bring a different rhythm to Summit County skiing. Plan lift access directly with the mountain, then return to Silverthorne for an evening together.
Terrain and lift access depend on conditions. Check pass dates and restrictions before purchasing.
02 / Frisco Nordic Center
Glide through groomed trails on classic or skate skis, or take a quieter route through the trees on snowshoes. Frisco Nordic Center offers trail passes, rentals and lessons for a day with a gentler mountain pace.
Check seasonal opening, trail conditions and rental availability. A trail-use waiver is required.
03 / Frisco Adventure Park
Trade ski boots for a tube at Frisco Adventure Park, where groomed lanes and mountain views make for a lively hour on snow. Carpet-lift access keeps the uphill easy, leaving more time for another run together.
Advance reservations are required. Height, age and waiver requirements apply; check the official booking page.
