Power through mogul fields and carve perfect lines down wide-open runs. First-timers need not fear, Colorado's ski instructors want nothing more than to share their life's love with you.
On The Slopes
Copper Mountain is ideal terrain for all levels of skiers or snowboarder with it's naturally divided terrain. The mountain's west side is gentle and sloping creating the perfect place for learning, because it keeps beginner skiers in their own area.
The mountain becomes gradually steeper as you move east offering a great starting point for expert or advanced intermediate skiers. Once on the
mountain, it is relatively easy to get to different areas on the mountain, so intermediate skiers and above can start anywhere and get to other parts
of the mountain easily. Snowboarders are also well catered for with Copper's main terrain park Catalyst, which has everything a rider wants.
Nearby on the shores of Lake Dillon is the old gold mining town of Frisco, as well as Silverthorne which has a huge factory outlet mall with major
brands at factory prices.
Off The Slopes
