Just an easy and quick 27 mile jaunt north of downtown Durango with no mountain passes, Durango Mountain Resort provides world class skiing in a great family-friendly environment. With 10 lifts, including a high-speed 6-pack that fires you to the top in just 6 minute, you can spend more time making turns and less time in lift lines. Ski Magazine recently selected Purgatory as one of the "7 Great Mountains to Ski With Your Kids"and one of only two resorts selected from Colorado. With exhilorating yet mellow beginner runs for the new skier / boarder as well as a terrain park with halfpipe, multiple sections of rails and boxes, consecutive tabletops, step-up and big air hits, DMR is a playground for every level.

If that wasn't enough, Durango was named in the January 2008 edition of Ski Magazine as "One of the Next Best Places to Ski, Live, Invest and Retire" (Durango was the only Colorado town chosen) and DMR was hailed as one of the Top 20 Ski Resorts in North America in 2007 by Conde Nast Traveler Magazine.
