The resort

The most naturally perfect ski mountain in the United States

Located just 2 hours from Denver Airport, Copper Mountain features the longest ski season in the Western U.S.A, with 280' of snowfall every season and around 2,400 skiable acres of naturally divided terrain, it is the ideal location for skiing and snowboarding for people of all ages and abilities.

The skiing and boarding

Copper's main terrain park Catalyst, located on the Loverly trail accessed by the American Flyer lift, has everything a rider could ask for: On the left, a beginner track with mini-kickers and small rails allow riders to learn the basics before moving on to the bigger lines. In the center, medium-sized kickers and jumps enable skiers and riders to improve gradually. And on the right, giant tabletops, hip features, and an 18-foot Quarter pipe offer potential for as much air as riders can handle. Halfway through the park, a rail section boasts a variety of flat, kinked and rainbow rails or boxes leading into Copper's award-winning superpipe. Scattered throughout the park are a number of additional features of varying sizes and degrees of difficulty, all designed for optimum flow.

The apres ski

Off slope, three recently completed base villages have redefined the Copper experience with accommodation, restaurants, bars, shops,and a kids-only lodge. The Village at Copper offers the largest variety of restaurants. Enjoy Mexican food and margaritas at the Lazy Lizard or for high-energy food and fun visit Endo's Adrenaline Cafe. Whether strolling through The Village to shop or watch chocolate being made in the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, visitors of all ages will soon appreciate Copper's unique character. Listen to storytellers who set up camp weekly by the snag tree in The Village, watch a laser light show in the skies above, or try the Tubing Zone, a true favorite for snow play enthusiasts of all ages.
