Just down the road from your Silverton base, you will enjoy a day of skiing at Purgatory Resort with its unique blend of long wide groomers to rip on and its tree skiing, while surrounded by gorgeous scenery in the heart of the San Juan Mountain Range. It is purgatory in name only as you will enjoy a laid back, no lift line resort known for sunny days after a storm, averaging 260 inches of the white stuff each year.
