Purgatory has been super aggressive in opening terrain this year. Today they opened Styx, Upper and Lower Hades, Pandemonium, and Catharsis, none of which were open this time last year despite having more than double the snow. They also opened the bunny hill area today, which is an earlier opening than anybody in the Adaptive program can remember.
Pandemonium
Styx
I love this run. A 1500 vertical foot playground of rolling steeps and double fall lines. A few moments after this picture, a saw a high school kid pop off this same roller, not realizing it drops off like a cliff on the other side. Totally unprepared to air it out like he did. Landed on the tips, double eject into a faceplant from about 30 feet up.
I was nice enough to get him his ski back.
Limbo Alley- need to stay out of the troughs at this point.
From the lift. The cliff section was open last week. Last year it was not open well into February.
