The Skiers' Guide to Copper Mountain

Unfortunately the US west is having a snow drought, but in spite of that Copper mountain was able to open almost all of its inbound slopes and coverage was good. Off piste was sketchy and tree run were almost non existent at the time of my visit. Staff were all pleasant and helpful. Copper is making the best of a tough year.

Great mountain not many people no line wait, affordable eating and drinking options, heated walkways, good vibes

Copper is one of my favorite mountains to ski outside of Denver. It is easily accessible. They have free parking and a shuttle to take you to the mountain. There are a variety of runs, the lifts run smoothly, and they groom their runs well. Copper holds park events each year. This year they had an amazing half pipe. They have a large dining hall and shopping area. The downside of copper is that it can be expensive and isn’t the best place for beginners to learn. They have limited “easy” terrain.

One of my favorite mountains because of the vibe… athletes mountain with not a lot of rich judgemental people. More of a skate park vibe than other mountains, where it can feel boujee and high class.

The parks are top tier and the half pipe is always fun. People are always dancing and partying down at the base too

Amazing mountain for anyone between intermediate and advanced skill level. People are friendly and the runs are well kept. I have gone 7 times already this season and plan on going many more times before the season is over.

Had a great time skiing, the area was struggling with snow so the resort wasn’t super open, but they did a good job with what they could

Start on the Super Bee lift to avoid the crowds. Work your way across the mountain and enjoy the softest snow off the T-Rex lift in the afternoons.

Copper is fun but very touristy and a lot of bad riders all over the mountain. Terrain parks are super cool and fun but also over crowded. Lyft lines are fast and efficient even in busy days. Snow conditions have been very bad this year so plays some effect in the rating.

Copper has a great variety of terrain and skill levels, varying from west to east in easiest to hardest, and not to mention the very fun but advanced back bowl. All 3 villages have nice accommodations and places to eat, and center village has a nice mountain town vibe.

Copper has been essential to my experience as a skier. I Have taken many lessons and clinics here and have progressed significantly! My favorite Colorado mountain

Copper is always a great time, and good vibes. Fast lifts and plenty of terrain. They always got events going on as well!

Copper is always a great time. Great runs, good vibes and fast lifts! Always have events going on and for guests to enjoy.

Copper is so huge that there’s a run for every level of skier and it never seems to get too packed since everyone spreads out. Long runs and amazing views

Mountain is divided from beginner to expert. Perfect for choose your own adventure style on every run.

I love copper but with the recent lack of snow, not much is open and it isn’t that much fun on the mountain right now.

Great runs and great experience. Food for all, lots of different hills for all types of experience.

Really like the modernness of Copper Mnt. The free parking and bussing is the best in CO. Mnt is big enough for everyone to enjoy

Quite the variety of terrain. Good number of easy trails. Bulk of trails are fun intermediate trails of varied types. Still a great number of trails for those that prefer varied challenging expert terrain. Big mtn, big fun.

Not too busy, super friendly lifties, and downhill dukes has great food!! Especially the fries and the IPAs

Peak 9 is a great run full of blues and blacks. Off to the side of the mountain, it is less crowded with long runs.
