We had & have a blast everytime we ski at Purg.
Purgatory (DMR) is one of my favorites. Except for holidays the mountain is never crowded. Very seldom a lift line more than a few minutes, and that on the weekends. Almost always has good base. The popular runs (except under lift
have high speed, high capacity chairlifts. Almost every part of the mountain has a mix of intermediate to expert runs. Will definitely return again as I have for several years.
We had a great time!
Great amenities for family, superb location, and big-resort facilities with laid-back home-town culture. Big acreage, plenty for beginners and intermediates, new glades for experts. Access to snowcat operation. Excellent ski school with periodic clinics for experts and superb first-time program. Always an event going on with extra fun for non-skiers. Close enough to Durango (with airport), but far enough away from big cities to avoid big crowds. Been pretty fortunate with snowfall these past few years; miraculous.
this is our 5th year going to Durango, we love the skiing there & the GetSkiTickets discount worked like a charm.
It snowed alot & had fun on the fresh powder! Several dining options, friendly staff, great runs. all at great price thanks to this site.
I skied Durango Mountain Resort with my friends over the weekend and had a great time. We came up from NM. Lift tickets through GetSkiTickets.com saved us $60 total. Great deal. I will be back.
Got a really good deal through getskitickets.com and had an amazing time with my buds . As a snowboarder the terrain parks really made my day.
Durango is a great mountain. I love the small village base and a ton of mountain waiting to be explored.
Durango Mtn Resort has definitely been a favorite ski resort of mine for a number of years. It’s away from the crowds, has a great terrain and the views of the Needle Mountains is pretty cool. I’ve skied it since it was called Purgatory.
