Forecast today: Occasional snow
- Max temp: -0.6 °c
- Min temp: -7.6 °c
The north-facing resort is home to fantastically varied terrain and with tree-lined slopes, making Purgatory a great place to be in stormy weather.
Although the San Juan Mountains catch less snow than further north, the snow is usually very reliable thanks to the altitude and improved snowmaking coverage. The expert terrain is a big attraction, particularly the steeps back in to town and the runs off the Legends Express lift.
The resort base has seen lots of improvements in recent years and now boasts a good selection of condo and hotel accommodation, much of which is located right at the foot of the slopes. Its location makes it quite hard to get to from the UK, requiring a long drive from Denver or an internal flight, but this means you should make the most of your trip by tying in a visit to the nearby resorts of Telluride and Silverton.

Snow Overview
USA
Updated 01/04
Seriously good mid-winter conditions are hammering Utah and Colorado through the beginning of this week after dumping serious total of at least a foot across the Sierras and Tahoe to conclude the weekend. Up to two feet in total can be expected across many areas on the US Left Coast, with only the PNW missing out on this. Snow is forecast to be light and fluffy, seeing a return to true mid-winter conditions in many places.
As the week continues, conditions return to spring, warming and turning sunny for many.
On the Ice Coast, a cold start to the week brings a burst of snow on Wednesday evening, before mild conditions bring rain and sun to many. A brief flurry of snow precedes more rain into the weekend as condition remain mild.
