Nestled at an elevation of 8,000 feet in the picturesque town of Silverthorne, Colorado, Silverthorne Powersports stands as a beacon of excitement and adventure in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Now owned by Evan DeShong and Chris Knippelberg, this small but mighty dealership is making waves in the powersports industry.
Evan DeShong’s journey to Silverthorne Powersports is a testament to his passion and dedication to the world of motorsports.
