Good question about the criteria. I’ve skied quite a few of these and live very close to Purgatory. I like Purg because it’s not as busy as some others and you can get away from the crowds, it has some good terrain, great apres ski in Durango which by the way is one of the coolest mountain towns around. Just my two cents worth!
