A person can't help but realize they're surrounded by something more impressive than designer logos. In fact, Outside magazine rates our weather among the best of any ski resort in the country, with giant nighttime dumps bookended by warm, sunny days. And Ski magazine honored Durango as one of America's Top 10 ski towns. There's plenty of room for alpine skiing, telemarking, snowboarding, tubing and even snowbiking. And pinch yourself, because, unlike other resorts in winter, lodging availability goes up and prices go down in Durango.
Availability goes up and prices go down.
We also offer the most flexible winter family vacation option you'll find. Whether you're a first time visitor to our resort or one of our repeat customers, you're in for a few surprises. This year we've changed our name from Purgatory Resort to Durango Mountain Resort, though the familiar Purgatory name still applies to the mountain itself, the Purgatory Village and Village Condominium Hotel. More importantly, we've added new features and more comforts than ever before without changing the relaxed friendly atmosphere that has made us famous for the last 36 years. The new Purgatory Village Express high-speed six passenger super chair will zoom to the top of the mountain in less than 6 minutes.
