I go almost every 3 winters to ski at cooper it is very inexpensive and has some killer runs!! My favorite part is the open and welcoming staff and the mini terrain park!

Its a good family hill, not that much variety and it can get repetitive, but there is Allways somthing to do, the lifts are slow and the lines back up on most fridays, the back side of the hill is definitely fun, lots steeper sections, if you want to skip the opening line go just 30min later and hop on the platter and then go right to the back side, overall I enjoy the hill

Copper is a great family friendly mountain. Magic carpets for public at the west side are great for little ones. The newer back area can be amazing on a powder day with loose trees and open areas that are a ton of fun.

Colorado skiing like it used to be. No glitz, just skiing. 100% natural snow makes for great conditions all season.

Rad little mom and pop hill. This place is cheap and always empty. You can find powder days after a storm. There is a reason the 10th Mountain decided to ski and train here.

Cooper is not a very advanced mountain if thats what you are looking for. A hard black there felt like a blue or green. The lifts are not very fast and take forever. The price however is very good and cheap for a decent mountain.

Most underrated resort in Colorado. Great terrain, easy to get to. Excellent all around! Copper is a No miss especially with kids.

For what Cooper used to be (a single-run military training site), its now a clean, family-friendly resort with a surprisingly good variety of runs. Theres something for every level from easy green to challenging double blacks. The town of Leadville is close by as well as a well-maintained Nordic ski area for those who would rather push than slide.
