Just started Alpine skiing last year. I have gone past Purgatory my whole life to get to the Nordic center for cross country skiing.
I finally am skiing it on downhill skis! The resort lends itself to a great learning progression. I have had friends to guide me, but I highly recommend the ski instruction available on the mountain. It is a little bit of a flatter mountain once you become more advanced. There are excellent powder pockets and tree runs if you know where to go. Its an awesome local spot with far less traffic than comparable east slope Colorado resorts.

True locals mountain, offering weekday season passes and payment plans for the paycheck to paycheck crowd (me). Lots of diversity of terrain, ample snow and lots of sunshine!

A great place for tree runs especially if you know a local You tend to do a lot of traversing at purg so knowing your way and making short cuts just make the riding that much better..
