Resort Overview:
DMR is a year-round alpine resort located just 25 miles north of Durango, Colorado in the majestic San Juan Mountains. DMR owns approximately 600 acres of private land and utilizes an additional 2,500 acres of U.S. Forest Service land via a long-term recreational permit that runs through 2040. The resort and surrounding lands are situated just off of US Highway 550, the San Juan Scenic Skyway, which is consistently recognized as one of the most scenic highways in America.
DMR, which includes the existing Purgatory Ski Area, has approximately 400 existing residential units (1,942 pillows) and 40,000 square feet of existing commercial space. The resort attracts approximately 280,000 annual winter visitors and 100,000 annual summer visitors. In the fall of 2002, DMR received approval of a development agreement, which provides a 25-year term vested right to develop an additional 1,649 residential units and 410,000 square feet of commercial space on the 600 acres of private land adjoining the existing resort amenities. These development rights, coupled with the resort’s current application to upgrade lifts and expand terrain within its existing permit boundary and its prime location as the closest major Colorado resort destination to the growing population centers of Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, provide the opportunity for significant growth and expansion at the resort.
DMR has been ranked in the top 30 of all US ski resorts by ski-industry publications and is consistently awarded the #1 resort for winter weather. The ski mountain is accessed by 11 lifts and offers over 1,200 acres of skiable terrain and over 75 trails. Of the resort’s 280,000 skier visits each year, one third are locals, one third are regional visitors and one-third are more distant destination travelers. The regional visitors come primarily from southwestern Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico. The destination visitors come predominately from Texas, Arizona, Oklahoma, Florida, and Southern California.
Recently, Durango Mountain Resort was named a top 20 ski resort by Condé Nast, one of the seven Best Places to Ski with Your Kids by Ski Magazine one on the Best Places to Ski, Live, Invest and Retire by Ski Magazine. Last month, DMR’s Mountain Master Plan was approved by the US Forest Service permitting the development of significant new terrain, lifts, snowmaking, and on-mountain facilities. And next month, DMR will open the first phase of its $100M brand new base village featuring the new Purgatory Lodge, village plaza, Durango Mountain Club, and some of the most outstanding slope-side amenities at any ski resort in North America.
