Ski and Snowboard News, Deals, and Events

Valentine's Day in Colorado is a time to spend with your sweetheart on the slopes. Durango Mountain Resort invites you to participate in the Passion Package with a romantic ski vacation. It includes two days of lift tickets and two nights of lodging, starting at $92 per person, per night, double occupancy in a Cascade Village Nugget studio. Throw in a couples massage, an amorous lunch for two at the Backside Bistro, and a sunset horse-drawn sleigh ride followed by chocolate fondue or a candlelight dinner at Purgy's. Lift tickets and lodging are included in the package while other activities must be purchased separately.
