Ski Southeast Messageboard

Yeah yeah yeah, I know y'all are gonna get tired of hearing DURANGO...but too bad! I'll keep it all in check here --





Start off with my first trip out there, 11/29 - 12/2





The first of more planes than I care to count for the weekend:











11pm landing - dang this airport is smaller than AVL:









My first taste of a Durango local brew (and some of the best ribs I've ever had):









Durango-Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad (steam engine yup):









Part of town & the Animas River:









Red Cliffs area (my rental house is near here):









Another stretch of the river further outside of town (found this rocky spot on a fluke):









Very first view of any snow caps in the San Juans:









Durango Mountain Resort (aka Purgatory):









Coalbank Pass on the way up to Silverton:









Telluride:









in Downtown Durango - Strater Hotel and the beginning of an amazing sunrise:









Strater Hotel - where I got to stay...pretty cool place:







Lobby:









A picture on my phone REALLY doesn't do this sunrise justice...!

Ska Brewery is awesome... I'm a huge fan of their Pinstripe Red.



This summer make sure to hike Engineer Mountain and get in biking shape... Durango has some of the best mountain biking in the country.

exciting new chapter. good luck!

You may just have to show me around if I can get out there after ski season.

Since your near Silverton(jealous)check out the town then get practiced up and go ski Silverton Mtn.Oh I mean ride.I think I finally get to hit the hill next week sometime.Puerto Rico has killer mountains but not a chance in #$%%@ for snow and that sux!!!!!!Its the only thing I hate about this place,I REALLY miss skiing every week!!!!Yeah Im jealous for that.Purg is an ok mountain.There are some great places around you for riding so take full advantage of them!!!!!

So, I missed the backstory here. Could you fill me in? Anyhow great that you are in Dgo for the winter.

best wishes and enjoy the beauty. Top of my bucket list is to ski out west someday.
