Chapman Hill Municipal Ski Area – Durango

Durango's Chapman Hill.

Situated in downtown Durango, Chapman Hill is a tiny, municipal ski and skate area. It aims to open each season in time for the Christmas Holiday and closes when the snow is gone.

Snowmaking is possible if the weather’s right and begins in December. When open, it offers skiing seven days a week; however, hours vary depending on whether it’s during the week or the weekend.

There are only two ropes to get up this classic ski area. Though they can be difficult to manage, especially for snowboarders, you can exit at any point. A terrain park is built each season to entertain a wide range of riders.

There are ski and snowboard lessons beginning in December, during the school holidays. They continue through February after the school day.
