Chapman Hill Ski Area Snowboarding

About

Chapman Hill is a municipal ski and snowboard area located in downtown Durango, Colorado. It serves as an in-town venue with 500 feet of vertical terrain. The site maintains snow using snowmaking and expert grooming. Two rope tows transport riders up the slope. Key features include a designated bumps course and park elements for freestyle riding. The facility offers ski and snowboard lessons for all ages and levels. It operates from November through April, typically opening for the Christmas holiday and closing when the snow melts. Parking is available on site. The difficulty is moderate. Uphill travel is permitted at no cost, though riders must use the perimeter road to avoid the middle of the hill during operating hours. Dogs are allowed but should be kept at home to prevent dirt from dirtying the man-made snow.
