Meet The Purdy Team

Robert Purdy, CEO of Purdy Vacations, is an avid skier, snowmobile rider, cyclist, and all-around adventure-seeker. Vacations are what got him into this business over 40 years ago, and creating memorable experiences for his clients has been his passion ever since. Before launching Purdy Vacations, Robert spent eight years as the General Manager of a Five Star resort in Snowmass, where he built lasting relationships with both staff and guests—and he remains closely connected to that community today. As our fearless leader, Robert keeps our team motivated and our customers happy, blending business and pleasure with ease every step of the way.
