This winter Southwest Freestyle will be hosting two freestyle competitions at Purgatory Resort!

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.

In this USASA event, competitors will throw down on the rails and see if they've got what it takes to bring home first.

Build your derby racer out of cardboard and duct tape only, and pilot it down the slopes during one of the most fun days on the mountain!

On select dates this winter, we’re offering the opportunity for a limited number of guests to board Lift 1 at 7:30 am and ski/ride laps on Lift 3 and 8 before the mountain opens. First Tracks Access grants you early morning turns and the opportunity to claim first tracks on the mountain. With First Tracks Brunch, you can celebrate at the Backside Bistro after your early turns with Champagne, warm pastries and a buffet brunch, served up fresh. Learn more. Season pass or lift ticket required to participate.
