Although SilverStar is known for its family-friendly environment, it also has some serious terrain. The front side of the mountain is suited for beginners and intermediates, and the back side of the resort is geared toward experts. SilverStar boasts a great village, diverse dining options, and fewer crowds compared to some of the other ski resorts in the region. But the locals prefer that and hope it stays that way.
