A ski resort's overall star rating displayed here is not calculated based on a simple average but takes several factors, including the age of a review, into account.
I have been skiing since 76. I ski bumbed in college in Alta and would sleep in the camper shell of a pickup to catch snow when I was poor. Purgatory males me feel like I am in a Warren Miller classic with access to modern terrain parks with half pikes! Purgatory is very accessible from Texas, rich with history and character. DURNAGO is a terrific city that I could retire to. Make a stay of it and get off the mountain for a rest day to Durango and the surrounding cities! Tons of things to do. In my top 10 list!

Great place family friendly. Easy in/out from town. Roads are very well maintained and snow plowed efficiently. We typically stay between mountain and town. Great dining places. Lovely warmth people. I love this place.

WE love Durango and Purgatory! Great town and super friendly locals and visitors on the mountain!!! Its a surprisingly large ski area and never has disappointed ... spend a lil bit more and stay at the main lodge or if a a bigger group stay at the amazing Elk Point properties ( we need!! pretty nice!!)

Overall a pretty good resort. It can get really busy on weekends. I also thought that a lot of these runs were pretty difficult for beginners but they did have lots of lifts running which helped with the crowds.

If it’s a busy day you better be early or you maybe be driving around for a long time to find a parking spot v you can go up and drop everyone off but you might be parking down the road although there are multiple shuttles. Lift 4 is a 20 minute ride which seems forever especially when ski school starts using it. Overall it was an amazing place with a vast amount of trails to try and never felt crowded at all. Highly recommend this place!

This has been our best family vacation! It’s a family friendly environment and the staff have treated us so good. The kids enjoyed everything about the snow ❤️
