Purgatory Resort

Purgatory was a really fun stop on our family road trip, and there is a lot here to enjoy. The mountain coaster was an absolute blast and easily one of the highlights of our visit. The girls also really enjoyed the gem mining activity, which was a great addition and gave them something different to do. Between the mountain biking, the scenery, the activities, and just being up at the resort, there is plenty to make a day of it. The one major disappointment was the alpine slide. It feels extremely old and outdated at this point and really seems like it is due for a complete replacement. Compared with everything else at the resort, it just felt tired and underwhelming. If you are visiting, I would absolutely recommend the mountain biking, exploring the mountain, checking out the gem mining with the kids, and definitely riding the mountain coaster. I would personally skip the alpine slide until it gets a serious update. I really wanted to give Purgatory five stars because we had such a fun time overall, but the alpine slide unfortunately brought the experience down a notch. Still a great family stop with a lot to offer.

I did not stay here, but we came in for a few hours on Saturday to try out their mountain coaster. They have quite a set up for Summertime fun that you can enjoy for daytime use. My review here is about the Staff. I am disabled, but wanted to ride the Coaster. The Staff here went OUT OF THEIR WAY to make make sure that happened for me. From taking me by elevator (instead of the stairs) to providing me a chair to sit in while my husband waited in line, to helping me up the stairs and past all the people when it was my turn. THANKS SO MUCH! It was a great ride!

Truly stunning! I grew up in beautiful mountains, but this place took my breath away. I’m still in awe. I will be back in winter and many more time in summer. The gravity biking was great. The mountain staff was wonderful. We didn’t want to leave. We fell in love!

Just went for the ski area. Parking was kinda chaotic, staff was very friendly. Mountain is really fun, although some of the traverses can be challenging on a snowboard if you don't know where they are.

Just steps away from the main chair lift. A pizza place, lodge restaurant, and mini-mart are all downstairs. Rooms actually feel a little bit fancy. Workout facility is pretty good. Overall a high quality and good value experience. I've stayed here every year for the past four years and will keep coming back.
