    We had a blast. Unfortunately one of kids fell on the ice as soon as we arrived after purchasing our tickets and dislocated his knee. The resort returned the purchase of the lift ticket. Always a great place to ski or snowboard.

    A absolute must to visit if you're in the Durango, CO. area! This place can't get any more fun than it already is. We took a family trip July 4th weekend, and we ALL HAD A BLAST!! They have so many different activities and rides to offer. There are a few different restaurants to choose from that offer good food and drinks. Let's start with the beauty of this place. WOW!! The trees, the background landscape, and the atmosphere here is spectacular! ABSOLUTE BEAUTY! I am from the Phoenix, AZ area so I am not accustomed to all the green and fresh air this place as to offer. Everything looks so amazing! So we did the zip line they have here and it was fricken awesome! It's only $15 if you just want to ride the zip line. $50 gets you a pretty awesome bundle where you can ride rides and so other fun stuff like, mini golf, gold mining, and etc... We decided to grab some food at one of the restaurants here called "Purgy's" the food was great! Ordered the Purgatory Burger! Yum!!!! All in all this place is 5 out of 5 stars for me and my family! I definitely recommend checking this place out, if you haven't already been. Hope my review was helpful!

    FUN! That's really what this mountain is about. For a destination ski vacation in mid to late February and March, definitely put Purgatory at the top of the list. A group of us split time between here and Wolf Creek mid Feb '07. What impressed us the most was the amount of fun we were all having. Having gone on many group trips, it has always been hard to keep the group together because of ability ranges - not at this mountain. Black and blue runs are nicely paired for everyone to ride the same lift time and again. Purgatory is not know for its snowfall, so it may be a little hit or miss getting fresh tracks and a deep base. From talking to the locals, mid to late February and March is really the time to ski this place. Spring snows in April would be even better, but since the resort is on Forest Service land their permit requires shutting down at the end of March. A little on the smaller side and geared toward the family, this resort is growing rapidly and is in the process of adding on. You can expect modern facilities, fast lifts, and plenty of shops at the base village.

    Are you tired of high lift ticket prices? Tired of expensive lodging? Purgatory is the resort for you.It's just awesome here. $303 for slope side lodging for 3 nights. $98 for 2 days of skiing at a world class resort. I'm not making this up. A part of me wants to say nothing, keeping this a secret, so demand won't skyrocket, hence, prices go up. But, I love the free market and the owner and employees need to know they are doing a good job, they should be recognized. I will be back as long as my 3 knee surgeries allow, its so worth it. By the way, I don't own the place, don't work their, don't own stock if its offered. Just a casual skier telling it like it is.

If you're in the Durango/Silverton area and thinking about taking lessons and getting started, skip Purgatory and come here for a top notch experience and a perfect place to begin. Save yourself the $$!

I came to teach a friend to snowboard and by the end of the day she was doing falling leaf without falling!!! ;-) They've got 4 groomed trails, tree runs, a small terrain park, and 1 double chair lift. And for all you ice skaters, they've got a great skating area. Of course they also welcome cross-country skiers! Another plus is that this place is freakin' affordable! Check out these prices! Adult (19 - 64) $25.00 Child (6 - 18) $17.00 Child (5 & under) FREE! Senior (65+) $17.00 This is there extended holiday schedule: MLK Weekend: 1/17 - 1/21 Presidents Weekend: 2/14 - 2/18 If you're into night skiing, Kendall Mountain will light up the trails on three Saturdays throughout the season: January 19th, February 9th (with Snowscape Fireworks!) and March 23rd. Food vendors, beer and wine, a bonfire and a DJ will be spinning up some tunes all evening! Night skiing will run from 5 - 9 pm, and tickets are $25 adults, $17 kids/seniors, and children 5 and under ski free (day tickets, discount passes and season passes are not valid for night skiing). All in all I loved Kendall Mountain...even bought some KM swag, but I'm giving them four stars because the chairlift dismount was a HUGE drop and not very beginner friendly. Don't worry, I sill love Kendall Mountain but I sure hope they work on smoothing out that dismount!

    What a great experience for people with little to no experience in the backcountry! I was nervous…read moreabout the avalanches, nervous about the terrain, just everything in general as we have never gone backcountry skiing but the whole operation ran very smoothly and we loved both days we went! They start by grouping people by activity level and aggressiveness desired, we fell into moderate for both. Different people in the our group in each but same awesome guide, shoutout to Cameron!! There's only one lift but the bus system and way they separate the groups is very efficient. The runs are amazingg and the I highly recommend the heli-drops. The next time we go back, we're definitely doing a 3 or 6 pack instead of just the one. The hiking is...brutal, at that elevation and when your legs are already tiring from going down the mountain, it was difficult for me. And I would consider myself a fairly fit person coming from Denver so already at a higher altitude to begin with. The second day seemed slightly easier than the first. The mountain is amazing, the town is adorable. As someone who wants to go in the backcountry but slightly nervous going without an expert, I really loved my experience. Our guide was so knowledgeable, asked for our preferences, and was super patient with me which I appreciated! I can't wait to go back!

    Beautiful mountains. When we went it was covered with snow that too in May end. View from the town…read moreis awesome though.
