Silverthorne

Silverthorne takes its name from Marshall Silverthorn, a prospector who served as judge of the miners' court in Breckenridge and staked a claim along the Blue River in 1881. In the early 1960s it served as a makeshift camp for crews building Dillon Reservoir. Its western skyline belongs to Buffalo Mountain, a massive, rounded summit of 3,896 metres (12,781 ft) whose shape is said to have reminded Native Americans of a buffalo. The sixth-highest peak in the Gore Range, it sits within the Eagles Nest Wilderness, rising about 850 metres above South Willow Creek in little more than a kilometre and a half. Its best-known feature is the Silver Couloir, a steep gully on the north side popular with mountaineers and skiers.

Our solid hardwood cribbage boards are modeled with actual topographic data to capture any place on earth. Each board has a storage space for three sets of metal pegs behind a custom-etched stainless steel door. Boards measure roughly 350mm (13.5”) long by 190mm (7.5") wide by 90mm (3.5”) tall and are finished with tung oil for durability and a slight sheen. Additional options include a custom message or logo etched on the stainless steel door tag (32 characters max, +$10), and an engraved name, message or logo on the side or underside of the board (+$20 standard, +$40 with a contrasting filler). Side and underside engraving is sized to fit the board, typically no taller than 1 inch (25 mm). For a logo, send us a PNG through our contact form after you order, with your order number.

Our products are designed, crafted, and finished in Alberta, Canada.
