When we are open, during the summer, we plan to operate 10:00am to 5:00pm.

Yes! The Summer Adventure Pass offers access to daily activities, with the exception of the Purgatory Bike Park. 

In the summer, we offer the Inferno Mountain Coaster, alpine slide, scenic chairlift rides, treasure panning, boating and paddle boarding on Twilight Lake, and a kids’ off-road track. 

UTV/RZR/Jeep rentals and tours are also available through Colorado Outback Adventures.

Our summer tickets may be purchased in person or online. We highly encourage you to purchase in advance online as the process moves along more smoothly when you’ve pre-purchased. Upon your arrival, you will be directed to the ticket office where you will present your ticket purchase confirmation and receive a wristband that provides access to our activities. 

Please check back for summer 2024 details.

Guests will enjoy access to the following summer activities: scenic chair lift rides, alpine slide, Inferno Mountain Coaster, treasure panning, paddle boarding and boating on Twilight lake & kids’ go-kart track experience.

Lift-served mountain biking tickets are sold separately from the Day Ticket. UTV/RZR/Jeep tours and rentals are booked separately through our partner Colorado Outback Adventures.

In summer 2023: This option is indicated in green on our ticket calendar. On these designated dates, you pay the same price as a regular Day Ticket, but you get the opportunity to enjoy the alpine slide and mountain coaster twice (subject to availability)! Learn more.

Stay tuned for summer 2024 updates.

[updated summer 2023] Weather in the mountains can change quickly and unexpectedly. Our Operations Team follows a strict inclement weather protocol with guest and employee safety as their top priority. Up until the time that session ticket wristbands are redeemed you can receive a full refund. We begin printing session tickets 15 minutes before the session starts in order to give guests the most possible time to cancel tickets for impending weather before they are issued.

A prorated resort credit may be available should inclement weather force the suspension of operations after the session wristband has been issued. The prorated resort credit will be calculated by the remaining time in the session in 30 min blocks. Note that credits are not calculated from the time that wristbands are issued and are not based on the usage of the ticket. Please plan on using all of the time during your session to get the best value out of your ticket. If you reserve a PM Session in July or August please expect weather delays as we frequently have afternoon thunderstorms.

Activity tickets are not included in your lodging reservation and must be purchased separately from your lodging accommodations. 

Purgatory Express chairlift access to the Bike Park is available for purchase in either full-day, half-day (afternoon only) or single ride increments. We also offer a Mountain Bike Power Pass season pass option.

E-bikes are allowed on the trails departing the Base Area and on the forest service roads around the resort. E-bikes are not allowed on the chairlift.

Yes! Stop by Cycle Works for all of your bike gear needs. 

We highly recommend taking a lesson, as our lift-served trails require a certain level of experience to negotiate. Lessons must be reserved at least 24 hours in advance.

While the area surrounding Purgatory offers endless hiking trails, the only trail at Purgatory that is open to hikers is the World Cup XC trail. This multi-use, bi-directional trail departs the Base Area. Once out of the Base Area, guests are welcome to hike or run on any of the ski trails, but please note that hiking and running is not permitted on any mountain biking trail at any time.
