The Silver Valley's recreational opportunities have been discovered and has resulted in a surge to the Valley's Tourism Industry. Silver Mountain Ski and Summer Resort draws over 100,000 people in both its summer and winter seasons each year, these numbers will increase with the opening of the new Silver Rapids Indoor Waterpark in the fall of '07, the development of the Galena Ridge 18 Hole Championship Golf Course and the planned expansion of both Lookout Pass Ski Resort and Silver Mountain Ski Resort.

A sustained increase in the price of silver has spurred a renewed interest in the Silver Valley's mining industry. The working mines of the Silver Valley are planning expansion of their operations and mines left idle are being brought back into production. The infusion of mining and tourism dollars into the Silver Valley, coupled with a infrastructure that is in place and a favorable business climate makes the Silver Valley a Business Opportunity of a Lifetime.
