Copper Mtn is an outstanding resort right off the freeway. Its accessibility makes it an easy stop. The terrain is huge and theres so many runs. We road Copper in late April and it still was great! Staff is friendly, parking is easy, the food options are pretty ok, and the slopes are rad! Enjoy!

Copper is a great place where you can ski longer in the winter season, from end of October to May. I suggest very much this bloody awesome place in Colorado!

Try to ski during the week when there are no lift lines for a better experience. If you ski on the weekend then go for alpine,Sierra, rendezvous lifts for lesser lift line.

Great local place. People come from all over the world to ski Copper. Great mountain layout . Hard to the east. Then center intermediate. West side easy. Then theres the back side of copper mountain at Tucker Mountain.

Great selection of runs from beginner to expert. Excellent bump runs all over the mountain. Good groomers most of the time. Spectacular views. Friendly staff. Need more control of extremely fast skiers when the slopes are busy. The new Aries is very nice and not so pricey as many resorts- grilled cheese and fries for $12 is a fav. Good shuttle service from the no-charge parking lots. Good shops for ski stuff and rentals. Fun base area. Been going to Copper since 1982 and it gets better every year !

Copper is an amazing mtn for new skiers to expert skiers. The mtn has many varying levels, but what I love most is that it progressively gets more difficult across the mtn west to east. This helps separate the ability levels on the mtns and keep beginners in beginner learning areas and more advanced with other advanced expert skiers. Often even on weekends there are no lift lines on the more difficult area of the mtns and there are so many different sections and lifts for the mtn it spreads people out! Only downside is that it is a quiet mtn, so nightlife is minimal. Downhill dukes and center village does have decent apres scene from 3-5:30.

Great week to ski! Tons of fresh snow not very crowded. Last day there avalanche crew was bombing back bowls due to 38 inches of snow! Stayed at The Greens within walking distance to Super Bee lift. Very nice place! New Aerie lodge was great place to eat!
