Forecast today: Occasional snow

- Min temp: -7.2 °c
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 07/04
The sad demise of Left Coast skiing continues this week, with more resorts shuttering with each passing day in the wake of what is now officially a record-low snowpack in Utah. Temperatures remain mild throughout this forecast period across the Rockies, PNW, and Tetons, with a few bursts of rain along the way.
Things may turn colder into the weekend with a few flurries of snow, but whether there is a snowpack left for this to boost is anyone’s guess.
Out on the Ice Coast, things start this period cold and snowy, but rapidly turn mild as the freezing line leaps over tall buildings in a single bound. Things will fluctuate slightly, plus a flurry of rain in to start the weekend to keep things interesting.
