Ryan Bradshaw

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!
