SKI News:
Purgatory Resort resumed its skier shuttle service Saturday, Dec. 20, 2025, offering a convenient way to reach the mountain during the 2025–26 season. The shuttle runs Friday–Sunday (with additional service during peak periods) and operates as a daily round trip.
“We’re proud to offer shuttle services to both our guests and employees as part of our commitment to being good stewards of the resources that make this place special,” said Matt Ericksen, marketing director at Purgatory Resort. “During the season we see many cars arriving with one or two people, so we’re asking guests to carpool, ride together, or take the shuttle whenever possible.”
Trips begin at the Durango Transit Center and include stops at 24th Street / Durango High School, PJ’s Gourmet Market, and Tamarron / Glacier Club before arriving at Purgatory Resort.
