Copper Mountain
Copper has something for all ages and abilities. Its naturally divided terrain starts out with gentle, sloping runs on the west, and gets progressively steeper as you head east. And there are several wide-open bowls for advanced skiers and riders. Copper also has one of the best terrain parks and pipes in Colorado.
Copper Mountain holidays are filled with plenty of rip time on the mountain, followed by a relaxing or rockin' night in The Village - the choice is yours. There’s a new village featuring plenty of incredible lodging options, shops, restaurants, bars and family activities. All the accommodation is just steps away from the mountain and gives you access to the Copper Mountain Athletic Club, featuring a 25-yard pool, weight room, cardio equipment, hot tubs, saunas and steam rooms.
