Sal Custer a patented mining claim sitting at 12, 000 +/- feet, close to the peak of Kendall Mountain, Kendall Peak has an elevation of 13, 300 feet. This property sits where CR 33 ends and the 300ft of the Kendall Mountain Peak hiking trail begins. Also a known backcountry skiing local favorite. From this part of the property to the top of Kendall peak is a roughly a 40 min hike that overlooks the town of Silverton, an iconic photo point of Silverton. Silverton has two chair lift ski areas at present, Kendall Ski Area and Silverton Mountain. Many feel that it would be a huge project, but quite possible in the future, to have an extreme-expert ski area up the face of Mount Kendall, which has been skied for years, landing at the top by helicopter, and skiing down the face. The Sal Custer, appears to be a good possible place to end the chairlift/gondola and it appears to be only about 600 feet from the end of County road 33 to the middle of the claim, which has 2 acres of level/flat solid rock. The title of an article in the Colorado Sun: the August 10, 2020 issue: "Purgatory and Silverton Mountain float interest in Silverton’s community ski hill." Possible rich mineral deposits and Rare earth elements. The owner will require a 3% Net Smelter Returns Royalty agreement for any mineral ore mined in the future. This affects no other aspects of the property ownership or any other commercial activities. Ski your own piece of the backyard, a buyer of the Sal Custer should perform "Due Diligence" on possibilities before a purchase contract. Recreation property currently.
