A ski resort's overall star rating displayed here is not calculated based on a simple average but takes several factors, including the age of a review, into account.
Overall a pretty good resort. It can get really busy on weekends. I also thought that a lot of these runs were pretty difficult for beginners but they did have lots of lifts running which helped with the crowds. ... Full Review

If it’s a busy day you better be early or you maybe be driving around for a long time to find a parking spot v you can go up and drop everyone off but you might be parking down the road although there are multiple shuttles. Lift 4 is a 20 minute ride which seems forever especially when ski school starts using it. Overall it was an amazing place with a vast amount of trails to try and never felt crowded at all. Highly recommend this place!... Full Review

Would recommend. Short lines. We had a great time I learned to ski here and picked it up in a bout an hour due to the great instructors. Very good for intermediate skiers.... Full Review

I did enjoy 2 days skiing here in January 2021. HOWEVER, SIGNAGE WAS AWFUL!!! I would study the pocket map as well as the rare Big Signs upon getting off the lift. Yet, over 2 days, never knew my location for certain due to Shzitty signage. I would start following a trail,then come across multiple intersections where multiple trails go off in every direction with ZERO signs to help you. So every run down was a mystery ride as it was IMPOSSIBLE to follow my planned route.... Full Review

March 2019 we stayed at a ski in/ ski out condo and hard a fantastic time. Snowed several days while we were skiing. Lift tickets don't break the bank either! ... Full Review

The ski boots that they put me in were terrible. I went back to the store the next day and told them how much pain I was in and they literally told me well then don’t ski. Wtf really I spent a lot of money on this trip and your telling me not to ski. They wouldn’t give me new boots. One of the last days were was there we went to a restaurant on the mountain and an employee told me to raise hell about this. He said that is unacceptable and inexcusable. My shins were so bruised that the sheets in the bed hurt caused pain. I couldn’t walk at all w the boots on. I literally had to crawl or someone had to carry me. I was in so much pain. ...

I used to ski Purgatory as a kid in the 80’s and have some of the best childhood memories of this place. Now, 35 years later, brought my kids and they love it as much as I did back then. We came at the end of March, and it was cheaper for us to fly out here and ski for 4 days than it would have been for us to drive to Mammoth and ski for 4 days. Great value! No lift lines! Friendly staff. My daughter wants to make it an annual trip.... Full Review
