Moore Family at Silver Mountain

For as long as I can remember I have loved the snow. As soon as I could walk, and probably even before then, my parents were taking me up to the mountains. I started skiing when I was about three years old. Growing up in the Moore family we didn’t take family vacations to Disneyland or the usual warm, tropical vacations spots. Instead our family vacations consisted of packing up the car with all of our ski gear and heading to check out a new mountain. These are some of the fondest memories I have as a child.

Since Silver Mountain hasn’t opened for the season and I didn’t get the chance to ride there last year my story for Silver Mountain goes all the way back to 1994. Things have changed drastically in Kellogg, Idaho since 1994. Silver Mountain Resort built the Morning Star Lodge along with its indoor water park. The gondolas also look a lot different these days.

Although the village area at Silver Mountain has greatly expanded my experience at Silver Mountain as a child was unforgettable. I hope I get the opportunity to ride at Silver again this year for the first time since 1994.
