Copper Mountain Ski Resort Vacations

Copper Mountain Resort

Known as "Colorado's Perfect Ski Mountain", Copper Mountain is a quaint, high-elevation resort that offers a friendly atmosphere, an award-winning trail layout and the longest season of snow in the Western United States.

The Mountain

Located 90 miles west of Denver and 110 miles northwest of Colorado Springs airport (COS), Copper Mountain boasts 2,600 vertical feet and over 2,400 acres of reliably snowy ski terrain. What makes this mountain especially unique is its fantastic trail system; by using the mountain’s natural characteristics, beginner, intermediate, and expert runs have been strategically separated. As an effect, Copper is not only an excellent place for first-time skiers, but is also great for children- one of the many reasons it has gained a reputation as a family-friendly ski resort.

The Copper Mountain Village

Copper Mountain was specifically designed to be a ski resort, and as a result, everything is centrally located near the base of the mountain. There are two villages that serve as the resort’s core- one of which is new to Copper Mountain, and has contributed many interesting additions to the resort’s dining and entertainment options. Currently, you’ll find quite a large assortment of things to do in this fun, relaxed, yet classy atmosphere. From burrito stands, ice skating rinks and rockin’ pubs, to fine dining, quaint pottery painting studios, and Vodka bars- Copper Mountain has a little to offer for all tastes. And for those not interested in taking advantage of the resort’s fabulous skiing, there is also a multi-million dollar athletic club open to all, boasting a 25-yard lap pool, a huge indoor hot tub, racquetball courts, and an amazing weight room facility.

Copper Mountain Lodging: Condos and Hotels

Because of Copper Mountain’s exceptionally convenient layout, all lodging tends to be close to the mountain as well as to the villages. There is a variety of moderate to premium accommodations to choose from; but no matter where you stay, you will find yourself either ski-in/ski-out, slope-side or within an easy walking distance to everything.
