About the Resort Update This Info
The weather forecasters and geologists could
write volumes about the Purgatory phenomenon,
but it all boils down to this: location,
location, location. Towering mountains meet
the high desert in Southwest Colorado, and
this results in a paradoxical combination
of incredible snow and abundant sunshine.
Deep in the San Juans, Durango Mountain Resort's
trademark benched, rolling terrain creates
a winter playground for any level of skier
and snowboarder. With 1200 acres, 85 trails
and 2000+ vertical, Purgatory Mountain boasts
steep shots on the front side, tree shots
on teh back side, intermediate terrain in
the middle and the dedicated Columbine learning
area for first timers.
