Purgatory Resort said it has made upgrades to the Hermosa Park Express Lift #3. The lift, which transports guests from the backside to the frontside, has been modernized with a low voltage safety control system.
Purgatory said it has also expanded its retail footprint and will introduce four new pickup stations for online purchases for guests to bypass the ticket office.
Purgatory Resort said lift tickets for its 2024-25 ski season are on sale with prices starting at $9.
The resort said its kids ski pass grants unlimited free skiing for kids ages 12 and under, no purchase required or blackout dates.
Purgatory Resort said, weather permitting, it hopes to be open daily from Nov. 16, 2024, to April 13, 2025, as well as Friday-through-Sunday operations planned until April 27.
