Fun Fact
Naturally Divided Terrain Copper's naturally divided terrain actually separates skiers and riders by their ability levels. This is nothing we did…it is just how the mountain is laid out. Starting on the westernmost part of the resort is our beginner terrain. As guests make their way more toward the East side of the resort, the terrain starts getting progressively more difficult. Beginner skiers have their own area and don't have to worry about taking a wrong turn onto a difficult trail, while the expert skier doesn't need to worry about a beginner traversing across an advanced trail. In short, you have your level and you go to the part of the mountain groomed for your ability. The happy result is that beginners aren't intimidated by fast-moving experts, advanced skiers aren't held up by slower beginners and intermediates are left to frolic among themselves.

Mountain Dining

The Copper ski experience is truly Colorado, but the dining has a distinctive international flair. Guests will find a large variety of restaurant offerings that span the globe and satisfy the most discriminating culinary adventurer to the pickiest five-year-old. Guests can experience all of Copper's worldly and delicious dining options without getting in the car.

FYI
Copper Mountain is one of the largest and least crowded resorts in Summit County - a place known throughout the world for premier skiing and riding. Its 9,700-foot base elevation ensures optimal conditions.

Copper Mountain knows there are skiers and riders out there who have never felt the thrill of waking up and hearing on the radio that school was cancelled. There are people who have never spent a whole day in the snow doing anything their heart desired. These people, and those who understand snow day bliss, are the reason we do what we do. So come to Copper to take a day, or two or seven and experience the mountain. Welcome to the home of the snow day! To see more, visit www.yoursnowday.com.
