Pros: It is the perfect mountain Cons: Too far from NY
I am going to start off by admitting my bias. In the late 80's, the real estate market in Colorado crashed. Something happened with what you could and could not write off on a condo, and people were abandoning ship. So my father was able to pick up a c ...
Pros: Naturally divided terrain, resort entertainment, employee attitude & spirit, lodging options, lessons.. everything. Cons: Not set up for night-skiing/riding.
I worked at Copper Mountain as a Reservations/Sales Agent last season (2003/2004) and definitely agree with the statement saying that Copper Mountain was rated "Best Snowboard Resort in Summit County" by Summit Daily's best of the Summit 2002 (reader ...
Ask Denver residents what the best Front Range ski resort is and you'll get a smattering of answers ranging from Vail to A-Basin. However, the answers cluster around Copper Mountain, and there is a reason for this. It is the best all-around.
Pros: Price, Location, Selection of Runs Cons: Can get crowded, Some snowboarders
When a ski resort is mentioned in a movie, TV show, or book, 9 times out of 10 you'll hear "Aspen" or "Vail." This is a device used to show that the characters discussing their little snowy jaunt are ultracool well-heeled jetsetters, ...
Pros: Great Apres Ski, Good beginner terrain, Reasonable price Cons: Average, No real ski town and not a big enough resort.
Perhaps I have been spoiled by all of the sweet places I have been able to ski. Although I am on the East Coast I have been able to try out a reasonable amount of western ski resorts. When I review ski resorts I have to review on a curve. Copper is a...
Pros: everyone will enjoy ther sking experience Cons: not much to do at night
Wow what a trip. Its January and we haven't had a chance to ski since 1998. We want to bring the new year in. Its has to be special after all it a new century. Copper,we question it. We have been to Copper many time before, but with all the new...
Pros: Good variety of terrain, high-speed lifts Cons: Still not much night life
Copper Mountain is right off I-70 between Breckenridge and Vail, and perhaps it is because it is so close to these two megaresorts that it is often overlooked. But if you are spending some time at either Breck or Vail, you should definitely spend a day...
Pros: Plenty to do for all (even non-skiers)! Cons: No where to dance for those looking for that in the evening.
Copper is a pleasant and short ride from Denver (we made it in approx. 1 hour and 20 minutes) I was surprised to see how much Coppper Mountain had grown and changed since the last time I visited (which I must admit was a very long time ago). It is now ...
Pros: Easy access, clearly differentiated terrain, good back bowls, good hiking terrain Cons: No real town, relatively small resort
I skiied at Copper for one day in early March, 2005. It was midweek and the place was virtually deserted. I found it a very enjoyable mountain for a short trip, though it may not be big enough for a week long trip. First of all, Copper is extremely ...
Pros: Great Skiing, Great Variety, and Slopes for Everyone!! Cons: Can be overcrowded around Christmas vacation time which causes weak snow.
Copper Mountain is the perfect place for all-around skiers. There is a place and a slope for everyone. The resort is located right at the bottom of the mountain, so you can spend a week skiing and not even touch the gas pedals of you're rental car....
In December this year, my family and I went to the Club Med at Copper Mountain. In my opinion Copper Mountain was a great ski area, and I would reccomend it to anyone else, NO MATTER what ski/snowboarding level you are. I will explain why below. ...
Pros: Relatively undiscovered, great conditons/powder, no hype, good eats, speedy lifts. Cons: none.
My father and I had been skiing on the east coast for years, and we were truly getting sick of the ice, damaged skis, and bad conditions. Based on recommendations from friends, we migrated west, but had no idea where to go! A guy at our local ski shop...
Pros: Price and convenience Cons: Not Aspen or Vail
Not a movie star, internet startup millionaire or kin of Donald Trump? Then Copper Mountain is a choice Colorado ski resort for you. Despite many peoples ravings about Copper Mountain, it is not commensurate to Vail, Aspen or other profligately...
