Durango Mountain Resort summary

They've renamed it Durango Mountain Resort but it will forever be called Purgatory by locals and long time visitors. Huge peaks surround the resort on three sides, and the high desert country borders the resort to the south. Two weather systems brush against each other, creating (normally) fine ski weather with plenty of light snowfalls, followed by sunny days. There is a shuttle service from the town of Durango to the resort. The Paradise Freestyle Arena, half pipe (creation of the DMR Freeride Team), 2 Bombadier snow cats and replacement of kid's rental fleet were added in 2003-04. The Best Western Lodge at Durango Mountain is just north of the entrance to the resort and offers studios to 2 bedrooms. ElkPoint offers lodging at the base of the mountain with garage parking. Luxury lodging exists in Purgatory Village Condominium Hotel and East Rim Condominiums, just 30 minutes away. On the San Juan Family Adventure kids ski free. Sneak away for the weekend with the Rocky Mountain Highway Getaway; one night slope side lodging and two day lift tickets for a reasonable price.

Visitor Reviews of Durango Mountain Resort


John H from UNITED STATES writes:

The star on the map should be north of Durango about 25 miles. It's a relatively small resort, but I always have fun there. The terrain is different from any other resort I've been to. Lots of rolling hills. The 2005-2006 season has been super dry, but these mountains usually have lots of snow. I would recommend it and Durango is a really chilled town.
