James Bunten, Purgatory Ski Resort
Whats better than a day of skiing or snowboarding? In our opinion, it’s consecutive days of riding. Whether you are an out of state visitor, or a local weekend warrior, fortune smiles on those who plan in advance. Life is busy, weekends fill up, holidays come and go, and blocking out your long ski weekend today is a recipe for success later in the winter.
There are several benefits to planning your winter trip today; one of them is that there are often early season promotions that will save you money and guarantee you get the weekend you want. Additionally, it is nice to have your winter escape on your calendar as a fun trip to look forward towards.
