Live Music at Purgy's featuring YOPE

The beauty of Uncle Clyde’s Run & Slide is in its simplicity.  Teams complete as many up-down relay laps as they can on Purgatory’s tubing hill in 90 minutes.  It sounds ridiculous, possibly strenuous and undoubtedly fun.

Join us for an unforgettable post-Mardi Gras celebration at the powder house followed by an informal parade down the mountain.

Demo the latest and greatest gear from brands like Salomon, Volkl, Blizzard, Fischer, Meier, Head, K2, Dynastar, Rossignol, Atomic, Voile, DPS, Black Crows, and more!
