This is a cool idea for a ski area. There should definitely be more expert oriented places.
I would love to ski here but I’m worried about hiking in the altitude (I live at 6000 ft and ski at 6100 – 11100ft).
Eh cuz you live at 6k’ and regularly exercise above 8-9k, you’ll be in the same boat as most Silverton skiers. It feels a bit butt kicking, but there’s really no way around it. The elevation is high but comparable to A-Basin, Loveland, or the upper half and hike-to parts of Telluride.
Palmyra regularly gets hiked to 13,000 feet by Denver residents every season.
