#3 Purgatory offers terrain for all levels, without the lines

Don’t waste your Spring Break standing in lift lines! Instead, spend more time enjoying some of the best terrain Southwest Colorado has to offer.

Purgatory offers excellent beginner terrain, plus plenty of thrills for intermediate and advanced skiers. Animas City Adventure Park is the perfect place for the whole family to spend some time together, with kid-friendly features and gentle slopes, while Paradise Freestyle Arena offers a slope-style course the more advanced members of the family will enjoy. Plus, it’s easy to view from the Beach, so the whole family can still take in the action together.

#4 There’s just as much going on off the snow as there is on it

With so many family-friendly events, the fun won’t stop when the lifts stop running. From live music on the Beach to the Pond Skimming Contest to daily yoga sessions, everyone will find something to keep them occupied in the downtime off the slopes. Plus, join some of the locals’ favorite Durango businesses (like Steamworks Brewing Co) as they bring their own form of fun to the mountain. Check out the full events calendar, and start planning all parts of your week now.

#5 You’ll be close to the best of Southwest Colorado

Purgatory is the perfect home base to explore everything Southwest Colorado has to offer. Take a break from skiing for a day to stroll through the shops on historic Main Avenue in Durango. Located just a quick 30-minute drive from Purgatory, Durango features world-class restaurants that are laid back enough to still be family-friendly, plus unique shops, galleries, and activities for the whole family.
