Purgatory in the Summer
Just 26 miles north of Durango, CO, and in the San Juan
Mountains, lays Purgatory Resort. This
family friendly ski resort offers the best skiing in the winter and fun
activities in the summer. The place started
in 1965, and has 1,360 skiable acres, 88 trails and 10 ski lifts. They even offer a six-person seat known as
the “Flying Couch” or “Six Pack” along with a high speed quad lift. Each year Purgatory can get around 260 inches
of snowfall and usually about a fifth of the mountain have artificial
snow. Those brave enough to start at the
top with an elevation of 10,822 feet hit a vertical drop of 2,029 feet.
The resort has many amenities including condos to rent, a
nightclub/bar, shuttle to Durango, ski school, urgent care clinic, restaurants,
shops and many other activities.
Not only is Purgatory a great place to go in the winter, but
the summer as well. They offer many
family activities for all to enjoy.
Activities such as summer tubing, big airbag jump, boats & boards,
Alpine Slide, Scenic Chairlift, Purgatory Plunge Zipline, Sky High
Adventure Family Ropes Course, Gyro Chair, Bungee Trampoline, Miniature
Golf, climbing wall, treasure hunting, bounce house, and mountain bike
lift. My husband and I did the scenic
chairlift and Alpine Slide. Both were a
blast. There were plenty of places to
eat and shop as well.
