What about that one where the YouTube guy bought it? Also this place looks sick. Pug trip?

Silver is easy enough to get to, from Spokane airport it's an easy hour-and-15-minute drive on I-90 to Kellogg. Take the gondola to the ski slopes.
It's about 6 hours drive for me, so if there is a Pug trip please let me know.

It's a nice piece of my own private Idaho, the new owner is going to have a hard time changing things without spending a lot on improvements to Silver.

My old ski hill Pebble Creek and now Silver the times are a changing.

What ever happened to Bruce Willis' resort that he was putting up for sale?

Ah, Soldier Mt, ID. Willis donated the area to local non-profit in 2012.

New owner has made a few changes. All he lifties are wearing the same Silver Coat, Ski hosts are in the area especially weekends, the snack/drink snack shack is open on the weekends at chairs 4 midway loading. Silver is grooming lower gold regularly making it easier to ski to the snack shack. The menu has changed in the Moguls bar and has been very good, the service in Moguls is much better than in the past. Overall from lifties, witnresses, customer service the attitude and friendliness of the Silver Staff is much improved. Also the ski school has a new boss and seems to be doing a good job.

The powder is the same and is in control of mother nature, however the grooming is improving.
