5 Good Reasons to Ski Copper Mountain

A Village that lives up to the Mountain.

The Village at Copper, located in the heart of it all and just steps away from the lifts, is Copper at its finest. The Village offers premium slope-side lodging that will meet your every need, with world-class après, dining, shopping and nightlife right outside your door.

A fantastic skiing mountain.

Copper has been called “the most nearly perfect ski mountain in all of North America”. To the west lies the beginner terrain, in the middle is the intermediate, and to the east and up top lies expert and double diamond skiing. This layout allows the beginners to have their own area, are they are not intimidated by expert skiers whizzing by or taking a wrong turn onto a difficult run. Conversely, the experts have their own area, too, and the intermediates can ride several lifts, deciding whether or not to push it hard and ski to the east, or take a nice cruiser to the west. This layout also makes for a safe ski experience, as all abilities are comfortable in their own element.

An interchangeable lift pass, with both Copper Mountain and Winter Park, is ideal for combining the two Resorts.
