This is my favorite mountain of all time. Granted, this is my second official season riding and I usually ride in the Midwest but I can safely say that Copper is tops (so far). I'd rate myself as an advanced beginner or newb-intermediate and I really appreciated the beginner friendly runs. They're a grade steeper than the Midwest but I enjoyed the challenge. If I lived closer by, I could really see myself progressing nicely here. The runs are long and wide. There are multiple routes to choose from which keeps the riding varied and fun. The mountain is huge so you won't get bored here. I'd doubt you'd even get to see the entire mountain in one day. If you're a beginner, I can safely vouch that this mountain is your speed. You won't feel as though you spent good money on a lift ticket for a mountain you couldn't hardly ride. Here, you'll be able to enjoy a great portion of the mountain and be challenged to progress at a comfortable pace. The lifts are speedy and well managed. I basically rode the American Flyer all day and pummeled all the green runs. Easy load and unload. The view was ridiculously gorgeous. I even had the (mis)fortune of having to ride the lift down and the view is spectacular both ways. Speaking of riding the lift down... When I got to the top of the lift for the first time, I immediately noticed something was wrong. I was pointed down the mountain but I wasn't moving. It was like I was standing on carpet. Something was terribly wrong. I deduced my board needed to be waxed (it had been a while) so I took the lift back down to the shop (embarrassing) to get it done. Luckily, the shop guy was awesome and quickly hooked me up. He noticed the sad state of my board and expertly cleaned and waxed the board to perfection. Protip for all you riders - Wax your board. Don't be like me and show up to the mountain and waste a good hour of riding time by waiting for your board to be waxed. Take care of that before you get to the mountain. Your lift ticket fee is better used for riding. Trust me. My brother and I skipped lunch but the food options seemed plentiful and tasty. The village is well stocked w/ places to eat, drink and relax. The shop is also decently supplied and I'm sure you'd be able to gear up nicely if you forgot something or if you wanted to pick something up. It's a great place - Copper Mountain. I can't wait to go back! read more

Just spent two days having a great time at Copper Mountain. My family did the snow tubing and alpine coaster and had so much fun!! The staff at the snow tubing area were great and made it super fun!!! Would highly recommend both activities!! Ate at JJ's and Sawmill Pizza and both were excellent with great service. read more

Copper is one of my favorite places to ski. That said, I probably only ski about 4-5 times a season so I'm definitely not a pro. But when I wanna ski, I find myself here. It feels accessible and easy to navigate, two big things in my book. I think it's a given that you need to head up the mountain early and always expect killer traffic - these days it looks like even Fridays are starting to get packed, although no where near what you'd run into on a weekend. Maybe it's something about skiing, but I've never seen an unhappy face here (unless it's mine, after crashing.) Note to renters: Shop around on rentals off the mountain before you come up here. Discounts abound, but I've discovered even with a coupon you can still end up paying a ton. For peeps like me without a season pass - do yourself a favor and go with someone who has a buddy pass so you can ski cheaper. read more

We have skied Copper Mountain a half dozen times and it continues to be our resort of choice. This review is the experience of staying on the property in Center Village, which for us is worth the cost. I imagine the amenities in East and West Village are comparable. There might be different challenges associated with "commuting" from offsite. 1) Rooms - Unfortunately, you cannot be guaranteed a certain room, you can only book a room in a "village" and are a bit at the mercy of what they have available (this is well advertised when you book). You get the number of beds plus amenities you're willing to pay for, but it might be a Murphy Bed for instance. Other times, we were upgraded to a full suite with separate bedroom almost the size of a house. This might be one reason I don't give it five stars, although I understand the challenge of renting out owned units. They do always have in the village you order and what you pay for. Depending on how much you're willing to spend, you may have a 50 foot walk to the lifts, or a quarter mile, but either way it's not too far.\ 2) Slopes - We come here for the slopes. As moderate blue skiers, we prefer greens and blues as opposed to blacks. And Center and West Village are full of greens and blues. So many, you don't get bored (unlike other mountains that have just one or two very crowded greens with beginners). The lift lines at the bottom can get long, but when you stay at the resort, you have access to purchase the "Secret Pass" which gets you a short line to the front. It's a real time saver on busy weekends, I highly recommend. The slopes themselves are well groomed with a lot of variety (long, short, steep, sweeping, moguls, etc.). They are relatively easy to navigate, although sometimes you might end up on a different run than intended as they have a tendency to crisscross a lot; it helps to have a map. They also have several freestyle terrain areas (pipes, jumps, etc.) for the advanced skier. Lifts are open 9a - 4p most days (open earlier on weekends). It's also very easy to grab lunch on the slopes with a number of options in the villages and spread throughout the terrain. 3) Village - The village has everything you need in terms of shopping, food, groceries, etc. There's even an ice skating pond (it looks like bring your own skates, they used to rent them but I didn't see that option). Of course, food can be pricey, but that is understandable given the challenge of getting the food here. They have a very active Apres/Happy Hour scene with live music in a variety of locations, and drink and food specials (3p - 6p). Because this is a family place, things are not that jumping in the evenings (they had one night club that seemed to be closed last time). It might pick up for spring break. We typically purchase breakfast items from the grocery store (eggs, waffles, juice, sausage) and eat in the room to save time in the morning. There's also grab and go type breakfast options (Belgian Bean Waffles, Camp Hale Coffee). Dinners are mostly American fare, the nicest place is CB Grille, but Incline and Endo's have everything you need, including a HUGE local beer selection (dozens) 4) Services - The ski rental center is conveniently located and easy to navigate (at least at Center Village). They have a wide variety of products from Sport, Performance, and Demo packages of both skis and snowboards. Their ski shop is very well stocked with any extras you forgot (like sunscreen or gloves). Everyone in the shops and restaurants and on the slopes is very friendly, asking how your day is going, advising you on the latest slope conditions, etc. As I mentioned, the Secret Pass is a great deal if you can get it for busy weekends. On non-busy times, the lift lines are almost just walk up so it's not as worth it. We will likely continue to come here, only reason we might not is after all these years the slopes we do, while plentiful, are a bit repetitive. read more

Thanks Elizabeth! We had a family situation and needed to change the date of my lift ticket. Being from florida I was a little confused with the process. Elizabeth at Guest Services was so helpful and answered all my questions and rescheduled the date. Service with a smile. I look forward to returning to Copper! read more

If I lived in Colorado (which hopefully some day, I will) this would probably be my resident mountain. My home base. My Valhalla. My mecca. My wailing wall. My St. Peters. My North Shore. My piece of Toast with Jesus on it. Came here for the first time last season over president's day weekend and I'm not kidding - I experienced one of my TOP 10 days of Skiing of all time. (side note: I've been skiing for over 25 years to give you an idea of the significance of this). And over president's day! Probably the craziest day to go skiing all year - and I was still hootin' and hollarin' like a crazy man and shootin' down the mountain all day. Seriously. I'm not kidding. If you were there that day and saw some dude seriously laughing and yelling with joy (like a crazy person) while flying mach 2 down the mountain and you thought to yourself: "dude - that guy's nuts. He's gonna hurt someone. Or himself at least." Um... yeah, that was me. Seriously. I'm not joking. I was actually re-writing the lyrics to "Jizz in my Pants" so that they personally reflected my orgasmic experience of skiing that day. What an awesome mountain. Awesome terrain. Great steep. Frickin' BEAUTIFUL snow. Clear blue sunshine and 35 degrees in February. Absolutely perfect. In my top 10 days of all time. Can't wait to come back. I love Copper Mtn. I'm a huge fan. I think I'm going to name my kid Copper after this mountain. (Okay, at least my next dog.) Only con: Seriously - 100 bucks to go skiing? Guess I'll have to save up for the next visit. read more

I walked in because the food ive heard is good. That I can't dispute. My concern comes as to the cleanliness of the place. The stove tops area is dirty, there's cheese on the glass, and the railing. The biggest Issue in my mind is that an employee named Katie Millard should not be allowed near a kitchen. 1( she picked up floor trash with her her hands and then pushed the trash down with her hands; then she grabbed a pan and started cooking for a customer. To recap she cleaned the floor with her hands, pushes trash down with her hands and doesn't wash her hands. Her uniform is also extremely messy with stains. The food may be good but they have low food standards. read more

I would rate this as the best ski resort outside of Whistler Canada. But then I might be biased since my Sis was a ski instructor here for 2 years and I always got VIP treatment.. I do not have any bias in saying this place is beautiful. And I no longer get discounts but I still think their rental rates are reasonable and they offer lessons for kids 3+ and Seniors... read more

I have been coming to this area to ski since I was 7 years old, and have tried most of the major resorts - Keystone, Winter Park, Vail, Breckenridge, Beaver Creek, Loveland... you name it, I've skied it. But my family and I have grown to love Copper so much we recently invested in a condo here. Copper is the largest resort in Summit County when measured by area, so LOTS of great terrain for all levels. The mountain is also mostly divided by difficulty, which is nice because it keeps everyone where they're supposed to be. The resort itself isn't as big or plush as some of the others in the area, but the feeling is very laid back and there are a lot of great restaurants and bars. No need to dress up for dinner here - a lot of people come straight off the slopes to even the fanciest restaurants. The ski school here is spectacular. I spent many years at Union Creek learning to ski as a child, and in more recent years have enjoyed many great private lessons with knowledgeable and friendly instructors. Really everyone who works here is great - from the lift operators to the restaurant servers - most are twentysomethings who are there because they love the mountain, and that makes for a very high morale. I've never had any problems with service in any aspects of my stays at Copper. Copper in the summer is also awesome. The resort hosts some great concerts, and there are good hiking and mountain biking trails. This area is gorgeous year-round, with lots of great things to see and do within driving distance - Copper makes a great base for these kinds of trips. A word to sea-level dwellers like myself however - it's really freaking high up here. The altitude at the base is almost 10,000 feet, so stay hydrated chickadees, or otherwise you'll be too sick to enjoy everything this amazing mountain has to offer. read more

Copper is a great middle-ground resort. With a decent smattering of amenities, less crowds, and intuitive mountain layout, I've gotta say I'm a fan. Parking was free on the Sunday we visited, and while waiting on a shuttle can be annoying, it was prompt both on arrival and return, so we had no issue. I can't say the apres scene was as impressive as some others (cough, A-Basin), but it gets the job done. read more

Before we got to our room, our trip was 5 stars all around. Colorado received lots of new snow, we walked around nearby Breckenridge & were having a great time. Unfortunately, that would all change soon. The past few years we've booked condos through VRBO/AirBnB and had very good luck. This year we found a deal through Copper Mtn's reservation service, so we decided give it a shot. When booking with them, you don't have any idea what you're getting. They have "levels" of accommodations but in our case they never told us what we had reserved. Since we've had years of good experiences with their rooms, we figured they'd all be good. That assumption would essentially ruin our ski vacation. Our building was "Copper Valley". If they try to book you in this building, refuse, run, call your credit card company, anything but accept the room! Problems encountered during our trip: 1) For some offers, you have to book via the phone. Who does that anymore? We never received a booking confirmation email, assuming they mistyped our easy email address. 2) At checkin, they were at 100% capacity & could only provide a single queen bed, not the king we'd requested at booking. 3) Our room was on the 3rd floor but our building had no elevator, not a huge deal but at 10,000' elevation, multiple trips carrying bags up is taxing. 4) Our building only has parking spaces for 1/2 the units. Again, not a huge deal but at 10,000' elevation the 1/4mi walk in the snow to walk back up 3 flights of stairs was tiring. 5) TINY. Maybe that's why there's no elevator, you don't want to carry all your bags up which is good because there's not enough room. Think large closet with a bed thrown in the corner. 1 random chair in the corner & definitely no desk if you need to setup a computer or heaven forbid, work. 6) The room decor included multiple boogers stuck on the walls, floor, furniture, etc. 7) The walls are paper thin, think of a sheet between beds in a hospital. Not a huge deal if it's empty and you have no neighbors. In our 1 night there, we became VERY familiar with the people staying next to us (roomates might be a better word). Adding to this fun was that they berated their children for 2 hours to the point we thought about calling CPS (Child Protective Services). Don't fret though, they settled down and we got to hear them have make popcorn and then loud, regular emphysema style coughing the rest of the night (because, who needs sleep before skiing?). 9) The bed was so uncomfortable that you might as well sleep on the floor (which we noticed was stained, filthy & disgusting during our bed bug check). 10) After getting 2 hrs of sleep & trying to take a warm shower to start the day & enjoy the slopes, we found that not only did you have to keep shampoo / etc on the shower floor because there was no shelves to hold anything but it also had an overwhelming sewer stench coming from the drain. Fun times! After all of that fun, we went to the front desk to see about our options. They said they couldn't do a refund that but a room change would be possible, however, it wouldn't be ready for "a bit" (this was at 10:30am). We were still hopeful on salvaging our trip. The front desk said the noisy neighbors were checking out that day, so we decided to try & catch a quick nap so we'd have some sleep before hitting the slopes. Not only were the noisy neighbors there till past 1pm (strange since Copper has a 10am checkout time) but to add to their fun emphysema coughing they were also doing some sort of building maintenance on the roof directly above our room. After an hour listening to that, we decided this trip wasn't supposed to be, we ate the considerable lift ticket price & started our long drive back to California. When they called at 3:30pm to let us know the room was ready, we were already 2hrs down the road. After returning home, we called to reservations to check on a refund. They said talk to the front desk. The front desk said to talk to reservations. When I finally got someone who could make a decision, they said a refund wasn't possible because we'd asked for a room change and that they'd upgraded our room to a condo (all news to me since a) they said refunds weren't an option when we checked 2 days earlier and b) they never mentioned the condo upgrade until days after the fact when I called them). All that for $500+ a day for 2 people with lodging / lift tickets & basic level resort food. No thanks, never again. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g33370-d209743-r345212034-Center_Village_at_Copper_Mountain-Copper_Mountain_Colorado.html# read more

See all

92 bucks for a day ticket, are you freaking kidding me?! The skiing/amenities aren't all that bad, but really Copper Mountain people, are you the last to realize that we're in a Recession? read more

This review is going to be different than most. Why? I am reviewing the mountain for the summer months. Let me start by saying that if you are going to get a lift pass for you and your mountain bike, this is a great place. For about $15, you get unlimited rides on the lift. My friend and I find the medium and difficult trails the most enjoyable, especially by starting on the harder ones, and moving to the medium trails as the day wears on. We usually get about 4 runs in before we need to have some beer. Also, be sure to check out the hiking trails. There are some absolutely gorgeous spots where you can walk through aspen groves on the side of the mountain. Here's a link to some photos of our last trip up there: http://www.flickr.com/photos/huebner/2665408768/in/set-72157605976847736/ ENJOY!!! read more

I loved every second that I spent at Copper. I loved the variety of runs. I loved the views everywhere we went, from the back bowls to the village. I love that I got engaged here, and I get to marry my wonderful fiancee and it all started here. The Lady and I skied here over a Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, and I highly suggest to anybody that can, should do that. Lift lines are shorter, first tracks can be accomplished at later times, and you have less crazy people flailing around and not looking uphill, which is always good. Blues and Greens are abundant, and this is a great place to learn and practice moguls. You'll have multiple opportunities to do it, even on green trails (intersections of trails can sometimes have them). Back bowls are beautiful, and trails like Triple Zero when there's fresh powder are pure magic that leads into easy glades to play around in. Although I wish the village had more to do, I loved every second I spent in it. Especially that doughnut shop... I probably won't return here anytime soon because there's SO much in Colorado, but I'm looking forward to when I do come back. Thanks for the memories, Copper. They will absolutely last a lifetime :) read more

The mountain itself is GREAT! However, I had a little issue with season passes. I am an Adaptive pass holder, and passes were $100. However, they increased the price to $200, and there was NO notification about it. I had to find out through a friend who went to Copper a couple days before opening and got hers, and she also did not know. Copper lists nothing about their Adaptive passes on their website, the only thing I could find on there was a little snippet hidden in a paragraph saying "Adaptive passes are available for $100." Vail Resorts has an awesome email program where they email their adaptive passes prices and options, Copper doesn't. This came out of nowhere. I tried to find out why the price went up a whole hundred bucks and from what I gathered, Winter Park is NOT included in this year's Adaptive pass, and when I inquired about whether Copper opened new terrain, they said, "I don't know." Really? You work at guest services at the base of Copper and don't know whether Copper opened new terrain or not? They were nice about it though, so I'll give them that. I just think it's really lame and a huge bummer that they increased the price so much for seemingly no reason, and that there was no notification. Breckenridge (a part of Vail resorts) just added a whole another peak, and my Vail Adaptive pass can access like 20 ski resorts, and that pass price only went up $10 for this year... AND they sent out emails letting us know. PLEASE, COPPER, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, LIST YOUR NEW ADAPTIVE PASSES PRICES AND LET FUTURE ADAPTIVE PASS BUYERS KNOW!!!!!!! FUN FACT: WAY back in the day, Adaptive passes were $20, yes, twenty bucks, and it included Winter Park. WOW!! The times, they are a changin'! read more

Came out for the day to try the free snowshoeing tour (you have to rent snowshoes for $10). The tour guides were really nice, it was the 2 guides, my boyfriend and I, plus another lady. My bf and I were walking faster, so the guides split up so we could go faster and every once and a while we'd take a break and let the other guide and lady catch up. They gave info about the terrain and the area and were helpful since it was my first time in hiking in the snow. We went on the "easy" hike at 1pm, there is also a more challenging one at 10am. After our hike, we hopped back on the shuttle and ate the sandwiches we packed in the car. I went before and the food is mediocre and very pricey--fountain sodas cannot be refilled and bottled juices at $3.50!! I'd definitely recommend bringing your own food. After late lunch we went for snow tubing at 4pm, a fun activity for all! Again, it's expensive. The holiday weekend price was $29, so we went on Friday instead for $20. If you can get a group of 10+ together it's $15 in advance. Overall I had a fun time, the whole resort is comfortable and people are nice. Only thing is it can be expensive and the bathrooms are gross. read more

Great mountain for all levels of skiers and boarders. Easy free parking. Great shuttle service to get around. Family friendly ski resort with something for everyone in the cute alpine village. Great terrain park and half pipe. read more

I love you Copper Mountain! I've had a pass here for almost my entire life, and I still never get bored with it. For three years I worked at Keystone, so I had a Vail pass, but I still found myself skiing at Copper more days a season than all of those combined. My favorite part about Copper is never waiting in lift lines. This past, amazing season, even during the Christmas-New Years weeks I never waited more than 5 minutes in a line. Try doing that at Keystone! Who else has a free cat for some in bounds hiking? Well planned separation of beginner, intermediate, and advanced skiiers? And, again, no lift lines? Nothing beats a great day skiing at Copper and a couple (reasonably priced) beers at the bottom of Super Bee on a bluebird day. read more

If you are going to go tubing, DO NOT GO TO COPPER. TERRIBLE. We had a group of 9, spent $200 and we got in 3, (YES THREE) runs. More time standing around waiting than tubing. Plus, they had one run closed, but that did not seem to stop them from selling the same amount of tickets.... Stinks to see yet another company more interested in raking in your money than they are trying to keep you happy and a returning customer. NEVER EVER AGAIN.\ read more

Love this place! I've now been twice in the last month and a half; my first and second time ever skiing and am hooked. Only problem? Lift ticket policy (see below) As I said, I was a first time skier in February; told the lady at the rental counter and she walked me thru what type of equipment would be best for me, custom fit everything I needed and even spent time going thru where I should start and what runs were the best for beginners. It was SO helpful as I felt a bit embarrassed being a first-timer at 25 surrounded by a TON of little kids that are clearly pros. Sure enough, I took the wrong lift up the first time (there are MANY of them, several at each village) and at the top had only the option of Blue or Black Diamond's to get to the bottom of the mountain :(... I DID make it down unscathed and when I found my way over to Kokomo and Lumberjack (beginner and then the all green runs) I felt much better! I stayed on those runs the rest of my first time and had a blast, moved on this past weekend. Great selection of food, booze, ski shops, never went wanting for anything. This weekend was WAY colder than last month and I had to get glove liners and another pair of socks and those were easy to find and reasonably priced. The food and adult beverages are reasonably priced as well. My only complaint? The price of the lift tickets and the inflexibility to switch to another day. Hwy 70 was closed coming in from Denver Friday night/Saturday morning and we could not switch our lift tickets to Sunday!! I bought another one because I didn't come all the way from STL to NOT ski, but I thought that was very not cool. The only way you get a refund is if the resort is closed the ENTIRE day your ticket is for. I feel that for almost $100 a pop they should be more flexible!!! read more

Copper mountain has terrible customer service, my family and I went up during thanksgiving and brought my cousin who has never skied before. He is 10 and we waited in line (for 20 minutes) to get his ski rentals. The lady behind the desk told us this is the wrong line so we had to wait in another line, then we waited in 3 other lines because there was no direction which line we should wait in. We took him to his lesson at 10 45 and we got there at 8 30. When we went to talk to a manager, all he said was I'm sorry the reason it is so chaotic is our runs are not fully open. We shouldn't have to pay $175, which is the same price that customers pay when all the runs are open. I will never bring a first time skier to copper mountain again. 3038092892 Kmassoletti@comcast.net read more

Snowshoe tour is highly recommended. Great deal, groomed trails, off trail option, instruction, guide, equipment, all for free. Two options, morning and afternoon. Check Copper mountain website for more info or sign up at guest services. Tour guides, Chuck and Jana, last week were personable, friendly and knowledgeable. I tipped $10 which goes to the Copper Ambassador year end party. Totally worth it. Day was sunny, great snow and the tour was done in under three hours. I met my skiing son and his girlfriend for lunch at Jacks. Highly recommended. read more

It should not take forever to get on the hill. The exit was a traffic jam. The bus from the parking lot waited until it was beyond filled. Even though we bought online, we were sent to an extremely long ticket line - no line for those who already bought. Looking across the way, I will next get to stand in an extremely long line to get on the gondola. This is shambolic and very disappointing. read more

Copper makes me happy. I try and snowboard up to 4 days a week and this is definitely one of my regular mountains. It's really nice that the parking is just off the highway and free. There's a free shuttle that runs very frequently taking people back and forth from the parking area to the base so it's not a problem to leave things in your car or come back for lunch. The runs are always groomed well leaving fresh powder pockets on all the tree lines. Most people don't really ride the trees here, which means you can make fresh tracks a few days after a storm. I rarely wait in line here and if I do, it's usuall short. My favorite thing about Copper is the progression of their parks. They have several parks and each one is broken up into size category starting at small and working into massive. It's great because you can go in or out of any of the sections without waiting in line to get to the bigger feature park and since the progression is there each time you take a jump it just gets a little bit bigger. The best part is that the extreme park has a really big incline to get into it. So, people who aren't at the level to get up the incline obviously aren't meant to be in that park. Which is really nice so you don't have to worry about someone breaking your line when they shouldn't even be there. Plus as a major added bonus most of the bro-brah crowd go to Breck or Keystone, so you don't feel like you're standing in line and competing all day long. Get a pass, or even a four pack. You won't be disappointed. read more

I really enjoyed skiing at Copper this past Saturday! It's a very friendly mountain for beginners/intermediates. Additionally the view is spectacular and you can get cheap hot dogs at Coppers which is at the base of American Flyer. I mean, seriously: $5 for a hot dog and soda or beer? Pretty rad! Perhaps the only thing that annoyed me is that the paid parking doesn't *really* get you any closer to the lifts than the free/parking shuttle system does. In fact, I think you get closer to the lifts if you opt for the shuttle. Ah well, lesson learned for next time! read more

We stayed in Breckenridge but took the shuttle to Copper Mountain to check it out and hit up some new slopes (plus we got a Liftopia deal)! It was a Wednesday so there were super short lines everywhere and no congestion on the slopes which was awesome. I spent my entire day on the American Eagle, American Flyer, and Timberline Express lifts running blues and greens. The runs were pretty decent minus a few that were super bumpy (not enough grooming?). Unfortunately with a smaller resort we didn't find the same sort of amenities that we did at mountaintop lodges. We ate lunch at T-Rex Grill and there was no running water and there was just a porta-potty style restroom. Also, I hate some of the long flat greens that made me unstrap and carry my snowboard up the hill to regain some momentum. I think I would be hard pressed to come here again since it's lift ticket prices are close to those of Breckenridge without deals, but it's definitely a resort worth checking out to get away from the crowds and lines! read more

Copper is my home mountain for skiing in Denver. Been getting a season pass for almost 20 years now (with a couple of attempts at trying the Epic pass, but came back). Even stopped getting the Winter Park add-on the last few years as I found myself forcing a day or two there to get my money back. Why Copper? It's just a great mountain to ski with plenty of terrain and easy access. It doesn't get as crowded as the other resorts, and the natural layout of the mountain separates the expert skiers from the beginners (harder runs on skiers right side of the mountain). The Super-Bee is a high speed six chair that takes you straight to the top with access to bowls, blacks, bumps, groomers, and trees. You can also head over to the back side and take a snow-cat up Tucker mountain. I'm up there almost every weekend during the season and don't see myself stopping. read more

I love copper, it is very easy to get to, I love the layout of the mountain and I love the terrain. I usually get a Colorado Pass, but next year I think I am doing the Copper Winter Park Pass, less chaos. They have a great pipe too. read more

Parking for this resort needs serious rethought. They have changed all parking to reservations except one lot that is the farthest away. Give people the notice that it changed to reservation. These are all money seeking changes... do better copper. Will probably change resorts because of this. read more

Copper Mountain is easily one of my favorite ski resorts in Colorado. From the moment you arrive, employees guide everyone efficiently into the parking lot and onto the shuttle buses that take you to the base. There are a variety of villages at Copper, each with a varying degree of difficulty. I think this is a fantastic idea. The crazy folks who can rocket down a mountain full of moguls can do their thing while others can casually glide down a gentle slope, and no one has to worry about getting in the other's way! As soon as we got there, my wife lined up to rent a helmet. This I feel wouldn't have taken so long had it not been for the masses of people who looked at the computer screens where you input your information like it was Martian technology. I swear, all you had to do was type in your name and address. People freaked. Anyway, once past that it was easy to be fitted for a helmet and be on our way. Helmet, passes, and skis at the ready, our group got in line for the first lift, and the day was underway. The slopes were pristine that day, with a healthy mix of fresh powder to plow through and perfectly groomed trails to explore. I will definitely be back at Copper next time I'm in Colorado during the winter! read more

We made a reservation and our car broke down. They would not even refund us for half our money. That is stealing. We called two hours before our reservation to give them enough notice to open that time slot. That is absolutely horrible business. I will tell everyone I know to never go to Copper Mountain. They steal your money. read more

Expensive but worth it - lots of great runs for all levels and super friendly lift attendants. Center Village at the bottom is great, with various rental shops for you to rent from if needed, as well as restaurants and gear shops. I needed to buy new goggles and had no problem finding a large selection. We rented boards from Rebel Sports - good prices and nice dudes overall. The shuttle system at Copper is highly efficient and well run. You can park in the Alpine Lot for free and catch a shuttle over to the villages - the shuttles are large and run frequently, and at the end of your day when you're cold and dog tired you don't have to stand around too long to catch a ride back to your car. Very cool how the mountain is naturally divided into the different levels of terrain! read more

Could not get to mountain because of bad weather and highway. They refunded our rentals but not any part of the ski pass for the day. They are flat out stealing from me and i am sure others as well. Terrible company. Refused to transfer to manager. 55 minute hold time. read more

I'm extremely disappointed in the service/response I received from Cooper Mountain. We prepaid thousands of dollars for tickets & lessons for our family. Today when I called to book my 7 year old son for 1 of the 5 lessons we were told that the ticket was not valid until December 17. When asked why - I was told that Mike in fulfillment said so but if I wanted I could get a refund. I said that I wasn't looking for a refund and that I just wanted to use our passes. How disappointing !!!! The only positive piece of this is that Sunny in the call center actually tried to help. Mike in the fulfillment center needs to find another way to better service customers because there are other great options for skiing in Colorado. Yes - I already purchased 2 lesson pass months ago and wanted to use them over the weekend but was denied. read more

The insurance on a ski pass is a rip off. My husband suffered an injury this year the first of February, after only skiing 6 times all season. He did provide the medical letter stating from his doctor that he could not ski. The insurance company refused to refund any portion of the ski pass. The resort did not close for the season until April 19th. My personal past experience with the 5 Mountain Pass - when I broke a finger the first part of February they refunded most of the season pass....and I didn't even have the insurance! Very poor reflection on Copper Mtn to have engaged this company for the ski insurance. I only provided a "1 star" because it is required to make this post. This experience deserves "0 stars"! read more

Copper has been one of my favorite local mountains since moving to Colorado 11 years ago. I love that this is more of a local mountain and doesn't have as many out of towners and touristy people. And with the military discount on a daily lift ticket you can't beat it! The staff wherever you go always seems to love their job and provide a smile or helpful advice! read more

It was a treat to be able to spend a weekend at this resort. The stay was even better because I was there in the middle of summer! I was curious as to what the Copper Mountain area actually was. As somewhat expected the Resort is the town. It's much like Aspen or Vail but a lot smaller. The layout is easy to navigate and absolutely gorgeous. Although I am not into winter sports I can only imagine how beautiful it must be and the activities I bet are excellent. There are a number of restaurants and bars in the resort that are exceptionally accomadating. Plenty of parking make any event at Copper Mountain a breeze. I would definately recommend a visit adn stay as long as you can. I would love the chance to return. read more

I own Colorado. If you know my last name it might make more sense. Anyway I finally got around to checking out my riches, and I must say I'm definitely pleased with Copper Mountain. I've skied tons of times in places like Michigan and Indiana, yes they have hills with fake snow in Indiana. Well, Copper has opened up my eyes. We got there at Noon Saturday after a serious hangover and some nasty traffic. We started out on the easy, west side to shake off about 3 years of rust. We steadily moved east and the progression was perfect for a midlevel skier like myself. Since it was Saturday on a long weekend it was somewhat busy, but I have no point of comparison. So I ended up on the East side near the end of the day. I got stuck on one of the long, top to bottom runs of moguls. They kicked my ass. These puppies are big, and I realized at this point I can't say I'm good at skiing, at best I'll say capable. I really want to go back. read more

As a Denver local, we could go pretty much anywhere we wish, but we almost always go here or to Winter Park. This resort is so well laid out. Beginners go right, intermediate go middle, and advanced go left. The parking is free, the runs are long and exciting. The bumps off resolution are fierce and fun. Each time I go to get a season pass, I ask myself, "Is it time to try something else?" But inevitably, I decide to stay with Copper. Perhaps the best part is the friendliness of the people and combination of fast lift lines and fast chairs. This resort is a family friendly, adventure filled, Colorado treasure. read more

Here for an off season conference. Emphasis on off season. Everything is closed- everything. Have to drive to Frisco for food, coffee. Lodging is very 80's and outdated. Carpet needs replacement. Not a big resort, not a lot of places to eat (even if they were open). The gym in the Tucker building is tiny and smelled like a humid sewer. I hear the skiing is good, but i would not stay the 'resort.' Staff are friendly, helpful. read more
