How Skiers Rate Cooper

I've been to Copper a number of times. A full halfpipe, plenty of runs from green to black (true black). Less crowded compared to the bigger named Colorado areas. Plenty to keep you interested.

Anyone with an irish pub at the base gets my vote. Small mountain with no crowds. Never waited in line for a lift.

Great time for 1st time out in Co. not very crowded. Great number of beginner and intermediate level runs

Cooper is a quiet and mostly not trafficked resort overshadowed by copper mountain and it is wonderful. On powder days they dont groom anything so power is area and they have super great t-bar terrain paired with cheap but quality lunch. I recommend cooper to most people I come across

I go to copper almost every weekend! Its not too crowded and there is a lot of variety when it comes to difficulty and terrain! Highly recommend!

Copper Mountain is a fantastic ski destination offering diverse terrain for all skill levels, from beginner-friendly slopes to expert bowls. The lift system is efficient, minimizing wait times, and the naturally divided terrain makes navigation intuitive and enjoyable. The village has a welcoming vibe with great dining and après options. Its a top-notch mountain for skiing, snowboarding, and family fun.

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.
