Purgatory has a reputation as a relatively uncrowded and value-for-money Colorado ski resort when compared to some of the larger and glitzier neighbours in the state.įounded back in the Sixties as Durango Mountain Resort, Purgatory Resort offers a good range of ski runs suited to all levels of skier, although the slightly lower elevation means that there is little skiing above the tree line and that many of the tougher runs are full of bumps, as opposed to being steep fall-line trails covered in powder snow. Purgatory Resort is located 30 minutes’ drive to the north of the college town of Durango in southwestern Colorado. Click on the price to check availability.

The two areas are linked by a free gondola service which runs from early in the morning through to midnight and which extends through to the Market Plaza area to serve more accommodation and parking. Telluride has two base areas: one in the historic town and one over at the much higher Mountain Village where much of the beginner skiing is located.

The skiable terrain may not be as extensive as Breckenridge or Vail and the prices are not as steep, but the biggest winter resort in the San Juan mountains offers a variety of options for all level of skier and snowboarder. Situated at the end of a canyon in stunning scenery, the ski slopes above the historic town have been rated as the ‘best ski resort in the USA’ by both specialist magazines and websites. Telluride is a former mining town but the ski resort operations have transformed its atmosphere into a trendy winter destination. Southwest Colorado might not have the size of ski resorts to compare with the giant winter operations further north around Vail Resort and Summit County, but the ski areas in the less-frequented region of the San Juan mountains offer plenty of variety for those willing to travel the extra miles.
