Silver Mountain Resort is a ski resort in the Silver Valley region in the Idaho Panhandle, just south of Kellogg and Interstate 90 in Shoshone County.
Originally opened as “Jackass Ski Bowl” in January 1968 on Wardner Peak, it was renamed “Silverhorn” in 1973 following an ownership change. After major
improvements in 1990, most notably the gondola from the city of Kellogg and expansion on Kellogg Peak, the name was changed to “Silver Mountain.”
