Silver Mountain offers both skiing and biking this weekend

Casey Lund by Casey Lund

For the first time ever, Silver Mountain is open for free skiing and biking in the same weekend.

You might think the snow couldn’t be all that good, but that’s just not the case.

The heavy snow pack from this winter is hanging in there.

“We’ve never been able to do that before,” said Silver Mountain’s Willy Bartlett. “The snow line has never been in quite the right spot. It’s just perfect timing this year.”

Bartlett has worked for Silver for more than a decade and he can’t think of a better place to call his office.

“It’s just a little bit of everything.”

This Saturday, Dave Smith is sponsoring lift tickets and festivities at the top of the mountain.

All the lift tickets will be free.

Silver Mountain will be open for skiing both Saturday and Sunday and will have biking available too.

They’re also offering scenic Gondola rides for the first time ever starting Saturday and running through Monday.

Those rides will be offered from 8:15 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, and from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Monday.
