Durango Mountain Resort

Durango Mountain Resort features more than 2,500 acres of terrain and the resort boasts that there are only 2 people per acre on their uncrowded slopes.The "front side" features many runs named after or inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy - Pandemonium, Paradise, Catharsis, Demon, and Divinity to name a few. The front also offers some of Durango's premier mogul runs - such as Lower Hades and Styx - as well as the gentle, forested beginner terrain surrounding the Twilight chairlift.
The "back side" has its own signature runs, including Dead Spike, Peace, and Sally's Run plus a mix of great cruisers (Durango's grooming is considered by some to be the best in Colorado) and longer, challenging steeps. When you're ready for a real challenge, try the big bumps on Elliott's, Wapiti, or Bull Run, or the glades of Paul's Park.
Beginners should head to the separate Columbine learning area, which is served by its own lifts yet is easily accessible from the rest of the resort. Columbine has its own ticket office and restaurant, and gives first timers a fun and friendly area for learning the ins and outs of skiing or snowboarding.
Lodging is available both at the resort and in nearby Durango. With an authentic "Old West" feel to it, the town of Durango is consistently voted one of the top ski towns in America. With a trio of microbreweries, dozens of fine restaurants, unique shops and art galleries, Durango is as classic Colorado as it gets.
