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!

I'm glad you had a good time, and we look forward to seeing you in Durango again!
Perfect spring break condo on the slope. Six steps from the back porch is a green slope that takes you to the main lift. At night the slope is awesome place for kids to sled down.
Very nice, well maintained property in a perfect location. Truly ski in-ski out.Everything was exactly as in description, but the condo just feels smaller somehow than expected. We felt cramped with 9 people.
We loved this spacious condo right off the mountain trails. It was clean, roomy and convenient. We were so thankful for the chance to enjoy this beautiful area during the summer & hope to return again some day!

Glad to hear you had a good time, and we look forward to your return visit!
The property and location were beautiful. You can’t beat the wrap around deck or view from the living room with a fire in the fireplace. We had a great time!

Thanks for choosing our condo! The view from the deck up the mountain is truly awesome in the summertime, and especially in the fall with the aspen leaves changing right out back. Thanks again, and we hope to see you back again soon!
This was our 4th time to stay with David. He does a great job accommodating and is always very helpful. We have definitely found a gem at Purgatory that we plan to continue to stay in!

Thank you so much Leah, and we will see you back again soon!
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

About the host
Hosted by David Miller
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!
