Single Day Lift Tickets - Kendall Mountain

Kendall Mountain Single-Day Lift Ticket - Silverton, CO

There's a particular kind of relief in a ski hill that doesn't require a strategy — no lift lines to game out, no sprawling map to study, just a single chairlift and a full day to ride it as many times as legs allow. A day here plays out at its own pace, whether that means slow warm-up laps for a first-timer building the basics or nonstop runs for someone chasing every inch of a fresh snowfall.

Set at the edge of Silverton with the San Juan Mountains rising all around, the hill has the feel of a well-kept local secret — the kind of place longtime Colorado skiers send their friends when they want a day that's about skiing itself, not the scene around it. Compared to the state's larger, more crowded ski areas, the smaller scale and quieter runs make it an especially good place for kids and beginners to learn, with plenty of room to take things at their own pace.
