Copper Mountain Ski Resort
Copper Mountain Ski Resort is one of the best vacation
spots for Colorado skiing and snowboarding and Copper
Mountain has earned a reputation as "the most nearly
perfect ski mountain in the United States". You will discover
that Copper Mountain has plenty of fun and exciting
snow activities including romantic sleigh rides,
snowmobiling, ice skating, tubing, cross country skiing,
snowshoeing, mountain tours, snowboarding and much
more.
The trail systems at Copper Mountain are separated by
ability levels so beginners don't cross in front of experts.
This natural divided terrain which ranges from beginner to
extreme assures that any type of skier will have a great
skiing experience. New snowmaking will cover an additional
110 acres on the east side of the mountain. The new
snowmaking system will guarantee top-to-bottom skiing
accessed by the new Super Bee high-speed six-person
chairlift and the American Eagle/ Excelerator high-speed
quad chairlifts.
