LODGING INFORMATION

FAQ

  • Can I shoot more than 1 course per day?

    • Yes! Please choose your initial course and start time for each day. You are free to shoot the other courses once you finish your initial course without checking in at registration again. This keeps everyone organized and avoids course and target backup.​

  • Why am I being prompted to choose a course and start time for Saturday if I'm shooting in the competition?

    • If you have chosen to add the competition onto a Saturday Pass, you will first choose a 30 minute time slot for the competition. You will have time to shoot another course once you finish the competition, so you are prompted to choose a course for the afternoon. Be sure to allow yourself at least 2 hours for the competition course, then  choose a different course and start time for the afternoon. (i.e. If your competition start time is 8:00 - 8:30, choose a start time around 11:00 for your fun course in the afternoon.)​​

  • Does Purgatory have requirements or restrictions on the lift?

    • Yes. 

      • ​To ensure safety, children riding lifts at Purgatory Resort must be able to load, ride, and unload the lift without being carried. Children in backpacks are not allowed on any lifts or ski trails at Purgatory Resort.

      • No pets allowed on the lifts.
