I thought they changed the name to Durango Mountain Resort? Or did they change it back?
Remember Tamarron Resort from back in the 70s?

Pretty sure -- that's what made me laugh about the whole thing. I think they just used the lodge.They filmed a movie about an avalanche here? You sure about that? View attachment 1677

It was one of those typical plots where they built a new resort on a dangerous spot even though they were warned by a local.
I was a teen when it came out. Now I want to buy it on amazon so I can watch it again. Pretty bad movie but I like seeing all of the old ski equipment.

Heh, heh. The likelihood of an avalanche burying Tamarron (now the Glacier Club) and the movie is laughable. It's a beautiful area and golf courses. Interestingly, there has historically been a 'weather line' at Tamarron/Glacier Club from the lower Animas Valley/Durango and the lower part of the Upper Animas Valley/mountain conditions. Beyond Purgatory is Silverton being the head waters of the Animas and Northern San Juan weather.
