About this property

Luxury Condo ON the Slope - The Best Ski-In Ski-Out at Purgatory - Edelweiss #1

Wake up with the warm morning sun directly on the ski slope at Purgatory Resort! This corner unit features a large, wrap around deck giving you panoramic views of the aspen forest and San Juan mountains surrounding the area.


For Winter Visitors:

The true magic of this home is its direct, unobstructed access to the ski slope. Many properties at Purgatory Resort claim to be ski-in ski-out, but very few actually sit directly on a ski trail. This one does! Simply walk outside the back sliding glass door and you're on the slope with the ski lift in sight - just click in and ski straight down to the lift! When you're ready to take a break, or you're done for the day, just follow the beginner friendly ski trail down directly to the back door. This is truly a skiers paradise, and is one of very few condos on the mountain that offer this experience.

After the lifts close, enjoy cozy nights by the fire or some sledding out back with the kids! You might also consider taking a drive down to one of the nearby restaurants or bars on the mountain for some après-ski fun, or enjoy the natural, mineral-infused waters of the newly renovated Durango Hot Springs.

After experiencing ski season at Edelweiss #1, you'll never want to stay anywhere else at Purgatory Resort!


For Summer and Fall Visitors:

This property is a private paradise for summer fun, and when the leaves start to change in September, it's truly spectacular getaway.

Enjoy the summertime activities at Purgatory Resort with the village center just a few minutes walk down the mountain. Watch wildlife from your porch, or mountain bikers come down through to woodland trail right outside the back door!

If you're looking to set out on an adventure for the day, there are plenty of hiking trails nearby, some of which are right out the back door! Purgatory Resort also offers an assortment of fun activities perfect for kids like the Alpine Slide and the Inferno Coaster!

There's plenty to do in the surrounding area as well! Drive down to Durango and hop on the narrow gauge railroad for a day trip to Silverton, an old mining town tucked up in the mountains, or drive out to Mesa Verde, the awe inspiring cliffside dwellings that served as the home to the native Pueblo people for over 700 years!

Craft your own summer or fall adventure at Purgatory Resort while enjoying your home away from home at Edelweiss #1!


Inside the Condo:

Our four bedrooms comfortably accommodate two full families - and it's the perfect setting for fun nights with family and friends. With a full kitchen, a wood burning fireplace stove, and updated interior amenities, you will be living in luxury for your entire stay!

The master suite has a comfortable king sized bed, and the two guest bedrooms upstairs are outfitted with queen beds. The upstairs loft has a twin sized bed, and the downstairs bedroom features a bunk bed (two twin sized beds) perfect for the kids!

At the end of the day, enjoy some home cooked meals in our fully stocked kitchen, or get ready for a night out in Durango!

We provide fresh towels and linens for each guest, along with complimentary, high-quality hand soaps, bath soaps, shampoo, and conditioner for a relaxing bath or shower during your stay.


A Message from the Owners:

My brother and I are dedicated to making your stay comfortable and clean. We replace the linens and towels often, and we have our five star cleaning service come through after each group of guests. If there is anything in particular you would like to have waiting for you when you arrive, whether it's a Keurig, Crock-Pot, or a Pack-n-Play (some previous special requests we've fulfilled), just let us know and we'd be happy to accommodate your needs.

Thank you for considering our property for your vacation, and please don't hesitate to send us a message if you have any questions.


FAQs:

Do you have access to the pool at the resort?
No, we are not members of the club at the resort so we do not have access to the amenities down at the lodge.

Do you have an outdoor grill?
Due to the high risk of wildfires in the area, we have opted to not have an outdoor grill.

Many properties say they are ski in, ski out. Are you actually on the ski slope?
Yes! This is the beauty of this property. You are steps away from the actual ski slope, and when the trails are open you are able to walk a few steps onto the mountain, put on your skis, and go directly down to the lift. You can also ski back around to the condo, no walking required!

Purgatory Ski in Ski out

This stay was just as advertised, There isn’t many other places that are truly ski in ski out for the price and this one is by far the closest walk, like out the porch and 10 feet up the bank and your standing on a green run , straight down to the main lift, I had to carve some stairs in the hard packed snow to make it safer for my wife but that was fairly easy, the run is at a higher elevation than the porch and snow melt from roof had made it kinda icy but really not that big of deal

Quiet corner unit staring up into the trees

We booked this unit totally last minute and David was quick to respond and help get us in. The rooms were smaller than I imagined based off the pictures but we're still great for my family. The kitchen has all new appliances and has a great selection of pots and pans and such for making your own meals.

Nola trip 2023

The property was fine but I do have some slight recommendations for a group of four of us there was one couch. An extra couch would be great to make the stay more comfortable. The bar stools were uncomfortable because of the height. Since there wasn’t a table, it was not that comfortable for sitting. Otherwise everything was great!

Great communication, wonderful property

We had a great stay for Thanksgiving with family. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything we needed. The space was great. The living room is a little short on seating for more than 4 people, but it worked. The property is very well taken care of. David was very quick to communicate. We had a hot water issue that he worked hard to try to repair while we were there. Although it wasn't fixed when we left, he was able to offer solutions for us at another property. He was very kind to work with and we had a great visit.

Great location needs a few things!

This property has a great location but is lacking a few things. We had one trash bag, one roll of paper towel and only 4 bath towels. We stayed 4 nights and had 4 adult and 4 smaller kids. There was also very minimal toilet paper for 8 ppl. The ice maker does not work and the living area truly only has comfortable seating for 4. This would be a great rental for a family of 4 but no more. Skiing back in for beginners could be tricky as well. We did not have a problem and loved being on the mtn.

Great Location

The property was a great for my family and another young family. The kids had a great time playing on the sloop outside the back. The adults could ski-in and out easily. Only a couple of things weren't worthy of a five star review. The dish washer doesn't work very well, which was very frustrating when cooking for our bigger group and most of the dishes in the cabinets were dirty. One of the beds was dirty when we arrived and there were no matches in the house for starting a wood fire in the wood stove. Overall, the property was great it and we would stay there again. Just wish these little things were corrected and the owner did a good job of responding to my concerns.

True Ski In/Ski Out Condo

We had the BEST time skiing with our two adult children over Spring Break. The condo was cozy and location was perfect. We stepped right outside our back porch and skied right to lift 1. Then we took yellow brick road trail straight back to our back porch. The condo was so clean and had everything we needed. We also enjoyed sitting by the fire and watching skiers ski down the mountain from all of our windows. I communicated with David about a couple of things and he was very kind and responsive. We will definitely be back! Loved every minute! Wonderful Family Trip!

About the host

Hosted by David Miller

Host profile image
Hi I am David Miller, and I own Edelweiss #1 along with my brother Daniel Miller. We've been skiing at Purgatory Resort since we were babies (literally) and we are excited to have the opportunity to own this unit and share it's convenience and magic with other families who want to experience what it's like to stay right on the ski slope.

Why they chose this property

Other properties on the mountain claim to be ski-in ski-out, but this is one of only a few in the slope-side of the Edelweiss condo complex that has true ski-in ski-out convenience.

Other units in adjacent condo complexes require a bit more walking, which is tough to do with ski boots on while carrying equipment. This condo is a true luxury when it comes to is easy access to the ski slope! You can ski down the mountain, right to the back door, pop your skis off, and walk directly into the unit. To ski out, it's as simple as walking about the back door, taking a few steps, and you're on the ski hill - it's really that simple. There's no need to worry about walking uphill, up or down stairs, taking an elevator, cutting through a parking lot, keeping your equipment in a ski locker, etc.

What makes this property unique

This unit is all about location. The convenience of being able to ski into and out of the condo makes the unit worth owning, and worth spending time at during ski season. Being located at Purgatory Resort is also a great midway point for staying in the area during the summer and fall months. Durango, Silverton, and Ouray are only a short drive away, along with access to local hiking trails, fishing spots, and much more!
