Purgatory (Durango Mtn Resort)
Visiting this magic corner of Colorado is like stepping through a sorcerer's mirror into a separate world. On one side like the Old West/New West town of Durango, the ancient Anasazi ruins of Mesa Verde National Park, unmatched scenery and sunshine, and so many fun activities that sking or hiking or biking could be almost forgotten. But snowriders, hikers and bikers ultimately choose the other side of the pane--a resort with terrain for every ability, spread across some of the most spectacular mountain grandeur on the continent. The magic especially returns every year in October. No matter how many times you experience it, the sight of the first snow of autumn on the golden aspen leaves makes your hear race in anticipation of another great season.
