Purgatory Resort Reviews

I had a really good time here, especially on the advanced terrain. There were some steep sections, tight trees, and enough bumps to keep things interesting all day. The snow was decent too. It’s not the biggest resort around, but the harder runs definitely kept me busy. Small win for me: I made it through a couple of lines I probably would’ve avoided last season, so I left feeling proud.

Found a spot right away. No circling, no hassle. Just parked and headed straight to the lifts. Super easy.

I rented skis and boots here and they felt worn out. The boots weren’t comfy at all, and one of the bindings seemed loose, which was a little sketchy. The staff did switch it out for me, so that was fine, but it still ate up extra time I wasn’t planning on wasting.

I went to Purgatory as a new skier, and compared with some busier resorts I’ve been to, it felt way less intimidating. The beginner areas were wide enough and mellow enough that I didn’t feel like I was constantly blocking faster people or holding up a crowd.

The green runs gave me plenty of space to work on my turns without freaking out, and my friend who was learning had a solid day too. The lift staff were relaxed and helpful when I got a little confused, which made a big difference. I’d definitely go back...

After a long day skiing at Purgatory, I was just looking for something hot and decent, not some life-changing meal. But the food actually surprised me in the best way. Like, why is resort food usually so hit or miss? This was definitely not one of those sad, overpriced cafeteria situations.

We had burgers, fries, and a couple drinks, and everything came out hot, fresh, and actually tasty. The beer was cold, which should be the bare minimum but somehow isn’t always, and the coffee the next morning was solid too. I appreciate when a place gets the simple stuff right instead of acting like you should be grateful for a lukewarm burger just because you’re on a mountain.

Prices were resort prices, so no shock there. Not cheap, but at least the quality matched enough that I didn’t feel annoyed paying it. The staff was friendly, service was quick enough, and overall it was a really good stop after a full ski day.

Took the kids here and they was really having a good time. It’s a fun spot overall, though the lines gets long later in the day, so going early is probably best.

Parking was really close , and the lifts were easy to find . It made getting around nice and simple .

We signed our two kids up for ski school at Purgatory, and overall it was a really good call. The instructors seemed patient and did a nice job keeping it fun, especially with my youngest who was unsure at the start. By the end of the day, both kids were turning and stopping better than I thought they would. Check-in was fairly straightforward too. Not perfect or fancy, but it worked well for us and I’d probably book it again next time...

I really wanted to like the runs more, but after a few laps it all started feeling repetitive. There was a lot of that same middle-of-the-road terrain, and I kept waiting for something to stand out, but it just never really happened.
The steeper sections were fun at first, I’ll give it that, but they were over so quickly that it was kind of frustrating. The beginner areas looked fine, so maybe it works if you’re just starting out, but if you’re hoping for a good mix of terrain, it feels limited.

The views were nice, sure, but that only goes so far when the actual riding gets boring fast. I left feeling kind of let down, and I definitely wouldn’t be in a hurry to go back.

We grabbed our lift tickets online ahead of time, and the price felt reasonable compared to other resorts. I got the confirmation email and receipt right away, so check-in was easy. It wasn’t exactly a cheap day, but the mountain was a lot of fun and the lift lines weren’t bad at all. I’d definitely buy early again, because the same-day prices can be a little painful.

The runs were groomed really well today, almost a little suspicious how smooth everything was. Not complaining, though, it made for a great day out there.

Had a really easy stay and the room was comfy. i blame whoever runs this for making it so simple that I’d actually stay here again

I didn’t expect the lift lines to be that manageable, especially on a busy Saturday. I was kind of prepared to spend half the day standing around, but most waits were only around 5–7 minutes, which was hard to complain about.
There were a couple of lifts that backed up a bit after lunch, so it wasn’t perfect or anything, but the lines kept moving faster than I thought they would. We ended up getting in way more runs than expected, so yeah, I guess I was impressed.

We got the season pass this year, and it paid for itself quickly. We went a few weekends, and it just never felt like we were overspending. If you’re local, it’s just a really good deal

Had a good day out there. The snow was solid for the most part, though like i said, it did get a little icy in a few spots by the afternoon. Still had plenty of fun runs, and the groomers were in good shape. Lift lines weren’t too bad either. Like i said, I’d definitely go back, especially after some fresh snow

We had a really nice time at Purgatory Resort. The staff were friendly pretty much everywhere we went, from the lift attendants to the folks inside helping out. Like anywhere, a few things could’ve moved a little faster, but that’s not the end of the world. Everyone we spoke with was kind and seemed to be doing their best, which made the whole day feel a lot more relaxed. I’d definitely go back.

I stayed here the mountains were easily my favorite part. The views in the morning were so pretty, and everything just felt quiet and fresh. Even just walking around the resort was nice because you’ve got all that scenery around you. It’s not some fancy way to put it, but if you’re into mountain air and great views, you’ll probably love it here.

The place was clean enough for the most part, but the bathrooms definitely could’ve used a bit more attention. I also noticed a few dusty spots here and there. It wasn’t a bad experience, but those things felt avoidable, so I was expecting a little better

The lifts were, like, mostly really solid all day. There was just one quick little stop, but it was super short, so it didn’t really bother me much.
