SilverStar racks up Snomad Ski Resort Awards

Nov 13, 2026 | 6:00 AM

The local ski hill has earned more hardware and recognition.

SilverStar Mountain Resort received the designation as the third Best Ski Resort for Families and the second Best Ski Resort for Ski Schools in North America.

The accolades, handed out as part of the 2026 Snomad Ski Resort Awards, were based on ratings and revies from real skiers and snowboards. SilverStar earned a score of 4.75/5 for its family experience, and 4.61/5 for its ski school.

The awards build off other recent recognition of the local ski hill, including SilverStar receiving the fifth-place ranking among North America’s top ski destinations earlier this fall.
