What People Are Saying About Copper Mountain Ski Resort

The Scene
Beautiful people may crowd the slopes and villages of more glitzy resorts, but those who are serious about skiing--and getting good deals--head to Copper Mountain. Copper's easily accessible location also makes it a fave for Front Range day skiers and their families.
The Slopes
Huge and varied, Copper is nonetheless easy to navigate. All the beginner terrain is at the west end of the lift network, all the steep terrain at the east end and all the intermediate cruisers in between. On top, like icing on a cake, are Spaulding, Copper and Union--sizable powder bowls well above the timberline. New skiers and families with small children should go straight to Lift H or turn right from the top of Flyer and move down to Timberline Express. This high-speed lift serves an isolated network of easy meadows and rolling, low-angle cruisers.

Copper Mountain was once the ski resort without a base area. No longer. It's terrain is defined by a black, blue, and green striped mountain moving from left to right (looking from the North to South). Beginners can ski from the top on the Western side. Busy? Depends on when you go. Weekends, every ski resort is busy and I-70 is a nightmare after 3pm as a result of all the immigration that has occurred in Denver over the last 8 years. Good skiing and fun....it is all up to you what it is.
