Sunlight and Silver Creek
Submitted By: Natalie Kurylko

Overall impression of the riding: There aren't too many resorts I can say I'd never heard of before, but these are two that fall into that unknown category. We at Pulp Magazine hosted an event at each of these resorts this past weekend, so here's my take: Sunlight gets big props for its amazing locals scene and efforts to work with riders on designing its park. These two factors made our slopestyle events there a total success. Check it out if you're ever in the area. Small mountain with a lot of soul, good snow and some decent tree riding if you look hard enough. Silver Creek, on the other hand, is definitely too small for most riders. But if you're looking for an out-of-the-way place to learn how to ride a good beginner pipe (read: away from the glare of more experienced pipe riders) this might just be the place for you. The ratings down below are for Sunlight.
