Silver Mines I think is what you are checking out.
Their ski terrain is not legit yet until second week of april.
Then the tenure ends I believe.

silver mines is up vermont creek road, many people ride there, break into snowman pass

i guess i am confusing ppl here, bobbie burns road is big. SO i guess you would call it "old" bobbi burns road, or atleast thats what the map book says it is. This would take you up to the end of bobbi burns creek. Carbonate Mtn. Map book calls it bobbi burns snowmobile area along the spillimachineen range.

First time I went to the "mine" was '96 and have thought alot about exploring other area around there, but I haven't been out enough the past few years to commit to trying something new.(1~2 trips a year here and always have the need to 'hit' the good stuff!) Glad to know that others are up for a bit of exploring. Has anyone been there this year? How many K past the summit lake road?(or which km to turn off at?)

BINGO!!! just the info i was looking for.

THANKS for starting this thread!
