SAM Magazine–Silverton, Colo., Sept. 6, 2004–Silverton Mountain was the first U.S. ski area to get skiers and riders onto its slopes for the 2004-05 season on Sept. 4 following heavy snowfall down to the area’s 10,400-foot base elevation. The snowfall was fueled by moisture from Tropical Storm Howard.
This is the third year in a row that Silverton has been the first to open to the public, even if just for a day or two.
