We had a beautiful day at Pergatory. The area is breathtaking and beautiful. Lots of good trails for all levels. The snow by March was getting bare and a bit of muddy patches showed through. As a Green/Light-Blue level skiier, I liked Wolfcreek more. The teen boarders in our group like the terrain park (which Wolfcreek didn't have). We ate... More

We drove from Phoenix to Durango over spring break for a ski vacation. Best plan ever. We stayed at a hotel very close to several restaurants and gift shops. Again, it was a great plan. Got great meals, found great activities, made great purchases. Oh, yeah, we also skied at a great resort. This place ain't cheap, so save up... More

This is one of my favorite places to ski. Lots of long intermediate level (Blue) runs. We were a week ahead of spring break and often times had the whole run to ourselves. The only negative was that we had to rent a car at the last minute. The shuttle to town only runs on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Someone... More

Beautiful views and great amenities. Stayed at the Twilightview Condos, right at DMR. A little dated, but, cozy, comfortable & convenient. Plus, best views of Needles.

My husband and I have skied all over CO & UT. We are not experts but we do know what we're looking for in a ski area! Not too big, but big enough, good value, half day passes offered (as we aren't interested at getting up at the crack of dawn to get our money's worth) good restaurants & bars... More

The weather was perfect - sunny, a light breeze, high 50's - so I knew it was going to be a great day for skiing in Southwest Colorado. My friend decided to take me here over another resort because it was a bit closer to Durango. Although there wasn't a fresh snowfall, the conditions were very good for early March.

This is one of our favorite places to Alpine ski in Colorado. The entire mountain offers a great selection of long and varied runs with incredible views. Fun for all levels of skiers.

Beautiful, but strenuous! We did this the day after arriving here from Texas. It was packed powder and a little difficult to trek in. A girl in our tour group of five had to sit down at the first rest stop. She and her friend took a shorter route with one of the 2 guides in the group. Our 60+... More

The snow was great and the crowd wasn't too bad for a long weekend (Presidents' Day). The ski lift staff were all friendly. The food is very expensive though. May want to pack a lunch and just purchase drinks at the lodges.

If you visit DMR be sure to visit Donna(the snowbike lady) and take the snowbike adventure. learning to ride the snowbike is well worth it..If you want to ski but cant because of back or knee injury this is the perfect activity for you..its a blast and Donna will take good care of you..
