Presenter: Trevor Cochrane & Stevie Jacobs
Broadcast Date: 14 June 2025

Nestled in southwest Colorado, Durango is the perfect place to make unforgettable winter memories—starting with a Purgatory Snowcat Adventure..

• Explore over 140 square kilometres of untouched backcountry in the San Juan Mountains, all from the comfort of a heated snowcat vehicle.
• With around 120 km of remote trails, you’ll glide through snow-covered meadows, over scenic mountain passes, and past historic mining sites. It’s a brilliant way to see Colorado’s wilder side in complete comfort.
• Swap engines for elegance with a horse-drawn sleigh ride at Bear’s Ranch, tucked beneath the stunning Hermosa Cliffs. Snuggle under warm blankets with hot chocolate in hand as you soak up breathtaking views of Engineer Mountain and Haviland Lake.
• The 45-minute sleigh ride is pure winter magic—ideal for families, couples, or anyone looking to slow down and take in the quieter side of the season. The horses are bred for the job and add a genuine touch of the Old West.
• Whether it’s skiing at Purgatory, soaking in nearby hot springs, or simply wandering Durango’s charming downtown, there’s no shortage of ways to enjoy the crisp mountain air and deep-rooted Colorado character.
• From backcountry thrills to peaceful sleigh rides, Durango shows you winter done right. Add it to your USA itinerary—you’ll be glad you did.
