This live stream looks out over Purgatory Resort, a ski area in the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado at about 2,744 metres. Watch it to check snow and sky conditions before heading up or to see what a mountain town looks like in real time.
Purgatory Resort sits in the San Juan Mountains near Durango, one of the higher ski areas in the American Southwest. The surrounding terrain is steep, forested and rugged, shaped by old volcanic activity and carved by river valleys. The resort is known for its long winter season, its family-friendly slopes and its access to the wider San Juan backcountry.
Depending on the view, you may see the slopes, lift lines, the base area and the mountain ridges around them. The camera is most rewarding on clear winter mornings, when fresh snow catches the light, and in late autumn, when the aspen stands turn gold. Summer and early autumn show green slopes and afternoon thunderclouds, which often build quickly over the high peaks.
The area has a high-altitude mountain climate with cold winters and mild, sunny summers, and afternoon storms are common in July and August. Durango, about 40 km away, is the nearest town with services and air links through a regional airport. Other cameras in the region include Telluride, Ouray and Lake Nighthorse, which can help you compare conditions across the San Juans.
