Pass

Power Pass

Power Pass mountain: full Power Pass gives unlimited, no-blackout access at Purgatory and the other Power Pass mountains. Wikipedia publishes terrain as 43% advanced with no separate expert percentage, so expert is null. Note: Purgatory's official 2025-26 press kit lists slightly different current figures (1,635 acres, 107 trails, 11 lifts) than Wikipedia's 1,650 / 105 / 12 used here for internal consistency.
