Silverton Mountain Ski Area, southwest of Colorado Springs in the San Juan Mountains, has the opportunity to have the place all to yourself, if you have at least 20 in your party. Imagine your party walking around like you "own the place."
From Silverton Mountain:
Your group can enjoy exclusive, guided access to Silverton Mountain’s chair-accessible terrain.
Silverton is legendary for not only having just one chairlift, but for also being an area where you get guided in to find the best spots off the main slope for skiing and snowboarding. You can even rent a helicopter to get to some "primo shredding."
This a destination for avid, experienced skiers; also, there's no lodge for Nana to hang out at while you all go have fun.
How Much Does It Cost to Rent Silverton Ski Area in Colorado for the Day?
While Silverton Mountain itself doesn't list the price, as each group's needs might be different, and it depends on when you're going, but Outside says that it can cost upwards of $9,000+ for a full day of the "private mountain" experience.
But, if you have a large group, and everyone is contributing say, $500 each, you could easily pull this off and stay Silverton, which is just six miles away.
