San Juan Ski Company

The San Juan Ski Company provides backcountry powder skiing in
the rugged and remote San Juan National Forest of Southwestern
Colorado. Advanced and expert skiers can explore this fabulous
terrain with the San Juan Ski Company. Based at Purgatory/Durango
Mountain Ski Resort, we are only 30 minutes from
Silverton Mountain Ski Area
and 2 hours from both Telluride
and Wolf Creek Ski Resorts.

With 35,000 acres of breathtaking terrain in the heart of the
West San Juan Mountains, The San Juan Ski Company is Colorado’s
largest Cat Skiing operation. Permitted Area Map Escorted by our experienced guides,
guests each day can expect to ski 8 to 12 runs and 8,000 to 12,000
vertical feet of untracked powder in the bowls, chutes, ridges,
glades and treed slopes that comprises the biggest snow cat skiing operating area
in the industry. Snowfall totals range between 20 and 30 feet
each season. Elevations in our permit area vary from 8,800 at
Durango Mountain Resorts base to 12,500 feet at the summit of
Greyrock Peak.

Our skiers are transported by powerful Bombardier snow cats with
custom designed, totally enclosed and heated coaches. The snow
cat rides of 15-30 minutes between runs gives you time to relax,
clean off your goggles, and keep warm. And, unlike heli-skiing
the snow cat always goes regardless of the weather. Even on the
stormiest of days you’ll be out enjoying the fresh powder.

At the San Juan Ski Company our mission is to provide an outstanding
Colorado backcountry powder skiing experience and relaxing holiday for our guests.
First and foremost it is about the skiing and our amazing terrain,
top notch guides and first class equipment. We are confident that
we will not disappoint you!
