What’s New on the Mountain
Silver Mountain Resort in Kellogg conducted extensive thinning in new areas of the North Face Glades, yielding additional steep fall-line tree skiing and reducing the need for traversing. It also expanded Sheer Bliss, a run on skier’s left, and installed a permanent rope line for safety and clarity. In addition, the resort trimmed and gladed traverses throughout the mountain to improve flow and access.
Other mountain improvements include updated signage that provides more accurate run status updates and links to backcountry forecasts at backcountry gates, as well as transceiver park repairs and updates to support avalanche-safety training and practice. Tubing sessions are now extended to seven days per week, and Silver Rapids—Idaho’s largest indoor water park—will boast extended midweek hours. Plus, a new partnership is bringing the Rossignol Experience Center to Silver Mountain Sports, which will offer a wealth of branded hard goods and expanded demo experiences.

After a fu-filled day on the slopes, what could be better than enjoying the endless summer at Silver Rapids Indoor Waterpark, where it’s always a tropical 84 degrees. After perfecting your surf moves on the FlowRider®, have a relaxing float in the Lazy River or play a game of basketball in Hoop Lagoon.

Snow Tubing at Silver
Not a skier or boarder? Grab your snow tube and get ready for nonstop fun at Silver Mountain’s tubing hill! The resort’s magic carpet lift whisks you and your tube effortlessly back to the top so you can keep the fun going run after run. With four lanes at 640 feet long, there’s excitement for the whole family.
Tubing sessions are two hours long and run daily throughout the winter season. Be sure to check out the Hours of Operation for the latest hourly schedule. Included in your booking is a gondola ride and a tube rental; all you need to bring is weather-appropriate clothing, such as snow boots, insulated pants and a winter jacket.
