Silver Basin Ski Area Crewneck Sweatshirt

Silver Basin Ski Area opened in 1971 on Highway 88 in the Sierra Nevada, in Eldorado National Forest near Pioneer, California. John Allen's new area advertised two double chairlifts, two small surface lifts, a day lodge and runs for every level, with the lodge at the top and skiers heading down.

Crowds stayed small, and Allen blamed the remote road. The lifts shut in 1974 by one account, and the hill reopened under other names before closing for good in 1995.

About the design: Built on Silver Basin's own brush-script lettering from its 1972 trail map. We added the SKI AREA and highway lines.

Printed to order in the USA when you buy it. Standard US shipping is free on orders of $55 or more. Shipping details.
