With snow predicted for Friday, the Purgatory Nordic Center is poised to host its Skate Ski Clinic at 1 p.m. Saturday. The Nordic Center is located just north of the resort entrance across U.S. Highway 550.

Weather predictions are calling for 3 to 8 inches of snow for Friday, which would help the Nordic Center open its doors for the season. It has been closed because of a lack of snow.

Skiing clinics are offered for all levels and ages, from those who have never strapped on a ski boot to those who are looking to improve their skills.

The cost is $25 with a season pass and $30 without a pass. Attendees are asked to call the Nordic Center at 385-2114 to confirm availability. Updates about Saturday’s clinic will be posted on www.durangonordic.org.

On Monday evening, ski instructors at Purgatory Resort will ski down the mountain with torchlights as a precursor to a fireworks show.

The New Year’s Eve Fireworks, Torchlight Parade, Rail Jam and Party will get underway at 6 p.m. with music lasting past midnight.

The Rail Jam will start at 6:30 p.m. under the lights in the DC Terrain Park where local talent will showcase their skills. At 9 p.m., Purgy’s bar and restaurant will have live music and dancing with no cover charge.

The resort is located at 1 Skier Place. For more information, visit bit.ly/2EveNib.
