Posted on January 31, 2023

When it comes to ski resorts in Colorado, most of the focus centers on the northern part of the state closer to Denver. The bigger names tend to attract the attention. But did you know there was a wonderful spot tucked away in the southwestern section of Colorado that will blow you away? That’s where you’ll find Club Wyndham Pagosa.

Pagosa Springs, Colorado, has a fantastic selection of activities for all four seasons of the year, and skiing in Pagosa Springs is top of the list at Wolf Creek Ski Area. The combination of extensive snowfall (an average of 430 inches a year) due to its location in the San Juan Mountains along with its steep terrain and lack of crowds makes it a perfect spot for skiing and snowboarding.

After all the activity, the spacious timeshares of Club Wyndham Pagosa await. The indoor pool is just the place to unwind, with storage available to leave your ski equipment until your next adventure.

Staying at Club Wyndham Pagosa Springs

Club Wyndham Pagosa Springs is a unique collection of varying types of accommodations, set on 1,800 acres and about three miles from the town of Pagosa. You’re only about a half-hour from the Pagosa Springs ski slopes at Wolf Creek, and because the resort sits on the banks of the Pinon Lake Reservoir you’ll have amazing fishing available during the warmer months.

Condo-style suites are available in the primary buildings, but there are also low-set, duplex-style accommodations and stand-alone buildings in neighborhood-type settings for even more privacy.

With the Rocky Mountains as your backdrop, the scenery is spectacular. The Durango-La Plata County Airport is the closest airport at about 40 minutes away, but one item of note is that Wyndham recommends the use of a car in order to fully enjoy the experience.

Because popular ski weeks can be difficult to book, the opportunity to buy timeshare in this Pagosa Springs resort is a great way to secure accommodation during your favorite time of the year.

Resort Amenities and Activities

While many visitors focus on the Pagosa Springs skiing option at Wolf Creek, there are also cross-country skiing activities onsite at the resort thanks to the expanse of the resort property. During the warmer months, cast a line into the Pinon Lake Reservoir for some lakeside fishing at the resort, go swimming, hiking or try horseback riding.

Pagosa Springs Golf Club is right at the resort so you can easily get in 18 holes under the backdrop of the San Juan Mountains. If you’re more of a tennis enthusiast, choose from the six onsite tennis courts to get in a match or two.

The fitness center lets you get in a good workout, although you may already get enough of a workout after skiing in Pagosa Springs at Wolf Creek.

Go for a swim in the indoor pool or soak in the hot tub at any time of the year, whether it’s after the slopes, a game of volleyball or a hit out on the tennis court. Maybe a game of mini-golf or a game of ping pong in the activity center. The scheduled activities that are part of the “Play Days” activities program will be sure to entertain the kids. For off-site activities, be sure to check with the Concierge to plan out your day.

Winter Activities at Pagosa Springs

winter activities at Pagosa Springs

If we haven’t already mentioned it (and we have!) the Pagosa Springs skiing at Wolf Creek Ski Area is the main reason most of the visitors come in winter to Club Wyndham Pagosa Springs.

With 1600 skiable acres, 77 trails and a base elevation of 10,300 feet, this gem set in the San Juan Mountains can handle as many as 5,700 skiers at capacity with runs for every skill level. Ten lifts can operate ranging from high-speed quads and triple chairlifts to even easier access with rolling conveyors. The site is ready for beginners through to intermediate and advanced skiers.

For cross country skiers and snowshoers, Nordic loops are a complimentary feature of the site with over six miles of cross-country trails in the Alberta Park Area. The level of difficulty ranges from the Red Trail at one mile to the Green Trail (1.5 miles) and the Blue Trail (3.7 miles).

Families looking to ice skate can head over to the Pagosa Multi-Purpose Pavilion, located in town next to South Park. Skate rentals are available but keep in mind this is a volunteer-run operation and most of the opening hours revolve around Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Those with a need for speed can try hoping on a snowmobile. Tour operators in town can provide a fun, guided trip through the backcountry to find those incredible scenic spots that only the locals know about.

After days of Pagosa Springs snowboarding and skiing, a must-do is a visit to the Pagosa Springs hot springs. The Mother Spring aquifer that runs over 1000 feet under the town is legendary for providing one of the best geothermal hot springs experiences in the country. Discovered by the Southern Ute Indian tribe, they named the area Pagosa – which is Ute for “healing waters.” That gives you an idea of just how stimulating these hot springs can be.

Try The Springs Resort, where a day pass gives you access to 25 individual hot springs pools and use of the locker room, with towels and robes available for rent. And because this is more of a wellness center, spa and wellness experiences are top of mind with massages, scrubs, facials and the Magnesium Muscle Melt among the services that will leave you relaxed and refreshed.

Besides the skiing and incredible hot springs shown above, there are so many things to do in Pagosa Springs that the season of year really dictates the best options for activities. But regardless of whether you prefer winter or summer activities, there are a number of places to go that you can enjoy no matter the weather.

Several craft breweries are located in town, with places like Break Room Brewing Company, Riff Raff Brewing Company and Pagosa Brewing Company & Grill offering up their own distinct libations.

Dining options abound, with styles ranging from Cajun to Asian and nearly everything in between. Barbeque spots are a favorite, and you can always find a great pizza or burger joint. For special occasions, fine dining restaurants in Pagosa Springs such as Alley House Grille provide an elegant but casual atmosphere featuring upscale American cuisine.

The region is filled with local culture, shaped not only by the early settlers but reaching back to the Native American Southern Ute and even the influence of ancient Puebloans of the Chaco Canyon.

Pagosa Springs History Museum in the downtown area is housed in the historic Water Works building and offers an overview of the early settlement dating back to the 1890’s.

A bit further out of town, Chimney Rock National Monument is set on the southern edge of the San Juan Mountains and offers Puebloan structures and artifacts along pathways that haven’t changed for 1,000 years.

Continuing west, the Southern Ute Cultural Center & Museum describes the life of the indigenous Ute people (also known as the Núuchi) who first named the town and continue to live in the region.

If you have the time, make sure you head out to the Mesa Verde National Park. It’s under two hours to drive, but this World Heritage Site is worth the trip. The homes and dwellings carved into the cliffs of the Mesa Verde are incredible, with the history of the Ancestral Pueblo people dating back 700 years.

Over 2.5 million acres of wilderness area and national forest encompass Pagosa Springs, with whitewater rafting and kayaking adventures awaiting on the San Juan River during  the warmer months. Fishing, tubing, paddleboarding, hiking, horseback riding and even hot air balloon rides are all part of the experience.
