The north-facing resort is home to fantastically varied terrain and with tree-lined slopes, making Purgatory a great place to be in stormy weather.
Although the San Juan Mountains catch less snow than further north, the snow is usually very reliable thanks to the altitude and improved snowmaking coverage. The expert terrain is a big attraction, particularly the steeps back in to town and the runs off the Legends Express lift.
The resort base has seen lots of improvements in recent years and now boasts a good selection of condo and hotel accommodation, much of which is located right at the foot of the slopes. Its location makes it quite hard to get to from the UK, requiring a long drive from Denver or an internal flight, but this means you should make the most of your trip by tying in a visit to the nearby resorts of Telluride and Silverton.

Snow Overview
USA
Updated 24/03
The Left Coast’s bitterly disappointing season begins to sputter to its conclusion, as further mild conditions across most of the trans-Mississippi through this week and into the weekend. Many headline resorts have already announce their early closure before the end of the month, with barren slopes and shocking conditions the norm for the region.
A short snap of cold temperatures across the PNW and Tetons – as well as Montana and Idaho – may bring a short flurry to some areas.
Further east, things remain mostly cold for the region. Bitterly cold temperatures will be in play to start the weekend, but before that a short sharp burst of mild weather – timed to coincide with a burst of rainfall – does little to help the spring snowpack.
