Purgatory Resort, Durango, and the surrounding mountains just received their first snowfall, a notable dusting! Oh, the magic it creates! As locals, Legacy Properties West Sotheby’s International Realty agents live for the first snowfall of the year. Yes, as adults, the excitement for the first snow still rivals the excitement felt as a kid. But, yes, we love it that much!
The slight dusting was welcomed by locals and created excitement for the 2021/2022 winter ski season. Opening day at Purgatory Resort is right on the horizon, only a month away. There’s no doubt why so many people live and visit Durango in the winter each year.
