Allow for Silver Mountain's gondola before your first run

Open tip ↗

Reaching the village is not the end of the journey to the slopes. Silver Mountain's FAQ gives an average gondola ride of 20-25 minutes each way, with passenger numbers and weather affecting the journey. Rentals and the Mountain House day lodge are at the top. Build that ride into a lesson arrival or short ski day, and check the day's gondola hours before setting out.
