Copper Mountain
Spanning across 2,507 acres of Colorado's Summit County, Copper Mountain offers naturally divided terrain that creates an intuitive skiing and riding experience. The mountain's unique topography naturally separates different skill levels, with easier terrain to the west and progressively more challenging slopes as you move east, making it an ideal destination for families and groups of varying abilities.
Copper Mountain's comprehensive network of 23 lifts serves 140 marked trails, ensuring quick and efficient mountain access. The American Eagle and American Flyer lifts, both high-speed six-person chairs with weather protection bubbles, anchor the central village area. These modern lifts can transport up to 3,600 people per hour, significantly reducing wait times during peak seasons.
