Purgatory was an excellent marketing moniker. Ray Duncan knew this. Purgatory had more than 270,000 winter visits in 1979-80 with just a few lifts. It had nearly 400,000 winter visits in 1994-55. Thirty years ago, I outlined a Purgatory development plan capable of producing more than 500,000 winter visits. That plan was as interesting as the name it represented.
