  • 2. Kendall Mountain Silverton
    Kendall Mountain is a small ski area located at the town of Silverton, Colorado. It was developed by the Grand Imperial Hotel in the 1950s and opened for business in the early 1960s. In 1983, the area was found to be operating without a permit and remained closed until the late 1990s. It advertises itself as the cheapest ski area in the West. The area has run with a single 950-foot tow rope for most of its operation but recently purchased a double chairlift from the Quechee Ski Area in Vermont to replace it. Kendall Mountain's base elevation is 9,300 feet and has 35 acres of skiable terrain in 11 runs.

    Wolf Creek Pass is a high mountain pass on the Continental Divide, in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado. It is the route through which U.S. Highway 160 passes from the San Luis Valley into southwest Colorado on its way to New Mexico and Arizona. The pass is notable as inspiration of a C. W. McCall song. The pass is significantly steep on either side and can be dangerous in winter. There are two runaway truck ramps on the westbound side for truckers that lose control of their brakes.
