The front side of Purgatory features some of the resort's more leisurely runs. On the skiers left side are some long cruisers, mild bumps, and the steepest trails. Purgatory is located in southwestern Colorado and gets more sunny days per year than any other Colorado resort.

Editors Note: Purgatory's setup is such that many runs on the front side end in a valley. This allows you to see across much of the base to other lifts. Purgatory is near Durango which is a great town to visit!
