The Polar Express with conductors who sing and dance. An enchanting sleigh ride in the shadow of the San Juan Mountains. The charming town of Durango decked out in all its holiday finest. The annual Mesa Verde luminarias – a spectacular Christmas illumination under the moonlit Southwestern night sky. All this and more can be experienced when you join us for our first ever Durango Christmas Family Trip! The Polar Express comes to life when the train departs the Durango depot for a journey to the “North Pole.” Enjoy hot chocolate and nougat while listening and reading along with the magical story. Meet Santa Claus and his reindeer: he will board the Polar Express, greet each child and give them their own sleigh bell. Join in Christmas carols on the return trip. Our first family offering in a long time takes us to Purgatory Village at Durango Mountain Resort, a Colorado slope side location with an array of events and activities sure to please skiers of all ages. A winter paradise in the heart of the San Juan Mountains, Purgatory at Durango Mountain Resort is the perfect family destination, known for its unmatched scenery, events and activities ranging from easy going to rugged adventure, and a town that offers a little slice of history. Purgatory's terraced terrain is perfect for all levels of skiers and snowboarders and the mountain features two terrain parks and a children's specific play area. At the heart of Durango Mountain Resort, we will be staying at the Purgatory Village Hotel, which offers just about everything you'll need on your visit to the Rockies. Take in the majestic views of the San Juan Mountains while perusing a variety of shops and restaurants and participating in resort activities such as skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, cross country or tubing… you’ll even find Santa on the slopes. And the kids will love the indoor pool, so be sure to pack the suits! The Village is the center of your trip, as well as a great place to relax, or watch the evening alpenglow over the Needles Peaks. Your visit begins with a cordial and fun-filled welcome from our OTHGI staff. At our welcome party, you can meet your fellow skiers and learn about the wonderful lineup of skiing and activities planned for you. On the slopes you’ll find over half of Purgatory Mountain’s terrain is for intermediate skiers, with exhilarating roller-coaster trails as well as gentle terrain with wide trails through trees. Advanced skiers will find challenging terrain on the back of the mountain, and the beginners’ area is served by its own lifts. Downtown Durango, a half hour ride from Purgatory Village, is a National Historic District packed with shops, top southwestern art galleries and a selection of restaurants sure to please everyone’s palate. How could a family trip at Christmastime get any better than this? We hope you’ll join us for this joyful pre-holiday occasion with your family and other friends from the Gang. |
