The snow was flying Friday morning at Purgatory Resort amidst the beautiful fall colors.
Purgatory opens Nov. 22 for the Winter 19/20 season, and is hoping for another record-breaking season of snowfall. Last season was the third snowiest on record for the resort, and all of that cold weather and moisture delayed peak foliage by several weeks.
Here are just a few reasons to consider Purgatory Resort for the next winter adventure:
- All kids 10 and under ski free
- 50% off lift tickets through Oct. 15
- The San Juans, Colorado’s most beautiful mountains
- Lack of traffic, crowds and lift lines
- Colorado’s largest cat skiing operation
- Parent’s transferable season pass
- Free FLC freshman season pass
- Recent on-mountain improvements and expanded terrain
- Village Plaza base area, events and activities
- Downtown Durango, history and culture
Located just 25 miles north of Durango along the San Juan Scenic Byway, Purgatory Resort is one of Colorado’s most affordable and family friendly ski resorts with few crowds, miles of varied terrain and breathtaking scenery.
