Now’s your chance to take advantage of the extra seven days on the slopes and celebrate the end of an era during Purgatory’s end of season celebration on April 5^th and 6^th. The resort extended the winter season from March 31^st to April 6^th with skiing and snowboarding from 10 am to 4 pm on trails accessible from lifts 1,3 and 8.

The final weekend End of Season Celebration will pay homage to resort founders, previous employees and supporters through the years, with $10 lift tickets for adults and $5 tickets for children on April 5^th and 6^th. Show your spirit by wearing your best vintage outfit, possibly from the year you worked here, and be in your decades “yearbook” photo to be displayed on the new Purgatory Lodge’s history wall. The resort will also have Retro Ski Fashion Awards and Grudge Match Ski Races with plenty of prizes for participants. Other events planned include live music from local favorites Hounds of Purg, Charlie Langdon Book Signing for “Durango Ski,” Winter Sports Foundation Winter Carnival, and an on-mountain scavenger hunt. The weekend closes out on Sunday with the Grand Finale Bonfire. Parts of Purgy’s will be sacrificed to the snow gods as a thank you for an incredible winter, and hopes of an equally great winter next year.
