The Silverpick Lodge

The Silverpick Lodge at Durango Mountain Resort is a 13 room Ski Lodge with 23 adjacent one and two bedroom condominiums. Silverpick offers prime mountain accommodations with Lodge Rooms that are clean and cozy with goose down comforters, feather beds and down pillows. The Condominiums & Townhomes are the best on the mountain, just ask anyone who's been there. Lodge rooms are named after prominent peaks in the San Juan Range and each features an original pencil drawing of it's namesake by renowned local artist Howie Basley.

In the Lodge, you will enjoy a small Spa that includes two Hot Tubs, a Steam Room, a Sauna, and a Massage Room and there is another Hot Tub outside in the Condominium complex. They also offer a free continental breakfast consisting of gourmet coffee, OJ, apples, oranges and bagels with cream cheese, butter and jam. In the basement there is a game room with free pool and Foosball tables as well as vintage video games and a Laundromat with a folding table, iron and ironing board. On the same floor, there is a 1500 square foot multi-purpose room with kitchen facilities that is ideal for small conferences, prayer meetings, family reunions, dances and parties. Also, the lobby features a 5,000 book library for your reading pleasure. The Silverpick maintains strict cleanliness and repair standards in all of their rooms, condos, and townhomes.

The Silverpick Lodge sits at 8776.66 ft, set in the San Juan National Forest and nestled under the 1500 foot Hermosa Cliffs, across the street from the Weminuche Wilderness, Colorado's largest wilderness area. The Silverpick is located on the San Juan Scenic Skyway, US HWY 550, halfway between Durango and Silverton, Colorado and only one mile south of the lifts at Purgatory. Lodge Rooms, Condominiums, and Townhomes are all non-smoking. Sorry, the Silverpick does not accept pets and consequently, you may get to see some wildlife around the Lodge. Don't feed the bears!

On site, you will enjoy the Sow's Ear restaurant, which is the local's favorite steak and seafood hangout and features a bar overlooking the exhibition kitchen and lounge with spectacular views of the West Needles Mountains. The dining room has become the "in spot" for neighborhood weddings with outrageous views in three directions and the "Best Steaks on the Mountain". The Wine List features wines from Colorado, New Mexico and the West Coast at some of the best prices anywhere. Sow's Ear also offers a Children's Menu and Bar Menu.

The Lodge sits in a mixed aspen and blue spruce forest. There is a gently rolling foot path through the woods and north to Purgatory Village at Durango Mountain Resort. The Lodge has also built several other trails that loop through the forest and under the cliffs and back to the Lodge. All together, the trails make for a combined three and a half miles of relaxation. During the winter, Silverpick will loan you sleds and snowshoes to tour the 'hood. During the summer, you can buy an old bike to ride while you're here for $10.00. Inside the Lodge you will find a knowledgeable and polite staff anxious to make your stay comfortable, enjoyable, and hassle free.
