Conditions Report: Silent Is Back!
It’s been blue skies up high and and cooler temperatures down low for the past week, which means our trails have had some time to firm up and smooth out. The forecast is for some more snow so that means the riding is only going to get better here in Golden.
Avalanche Awareness Days – This weekend!
Show proof that you’ve taken an avalanche safety course and get $5 off your day pass at any of our managed areas.
BCA Beacon Basin
The BCA Beacon Basin is back in the snow near the Quartz Cabin. This is a great place to practise your searching skills that will keep your friends safe if you get swept away. Avalanches aren’t fun but being ready can be!
Beacon Basin is installed for 2019 season in Quartz.

This means the GSC grooming operations are under the direction of a professional avalanche forecaster, who, at times, applies limits to the terrain that the groomer can pass through and this may affect the grooming product. Please adjust your expectations accordingly. *
