I have snowboarded Copper for the last two years and I thought it was a fantastic place. Now people say the lines are long but if one is an intermediate to expert, I recommend starting ones day on the east side of the mountain; at the Super Bee lift. No beginners or intermediates crowding the lines of that lift. Once one gets to the top of the Super Bee lift, one can either cruse the Super Bee, take a challenging run off of the Alpine lift, take a steep drop into a mogul run off of resolution or take the Storm King poma to the bows or the back side. Personally my favorite part of the mountain was the huge, open Spaulding Bowl. The Copper Bowl and Tucker Mountain are both fun but wait until the afternoon to avoid crusty and icy snow. The best parts of the mountain are the difficult parts, the intermediate/ beginner parts are just crowded and no fun. Great experience, wish I had more snow.

The natural terrain division of the mountain is both its blessing and curse. It's a curse on crowded weekends when it seems everyone is skiing the blue runs. Lift lines for these are very long.
On the other hand, the blessing comes if you can break out of the blues and into the blacks. You will find zero lift lines even on the weekends. Just some extra motivation to finally break free of intermediate skiing :-)

I was disappointed with this resort, Grooming was not the best when I visited, There was clumps of snow where the groomers path was uneven. There was not much difference between the blue runs I went on and the greens. the greens were steep in places. I did not like this resort much. It just seemed to corporate and you felt like just another customer instead of a guest. I was dissapointed in my experience here. Some of the trails were fun but a lot of them had flat parts on them that ruined the experience.

Very consitent fall line. Trails are appropriately marked, unlike Breckenflats. The Alpine lift needs some added horsepower, it creeps along. Alot of BOGO and discounted coupons make this a good value. We skied midweek and did not see crowds that others talk about.

Good resort, good value. Nice terrain for everyone to enjoy, from greens to blacks a little for all. My one complain are the crowds, I would say it is one of the worst crowds in Summit. But over all a great resort to go and ski or ride.

Wow, what a great hill... I recommend Copper to anyone, beginner to expert. A little something for everyone. Lines were a bit long but they have some high speed lifts that get em up quick. Try this one out along the way, it really was fun.

I skied Copper Mountain for the first time last November upon the recommendation of a local ski rental shop. I really enjoyed the way they have the runs of similar difficulty grouped togther rather than interwoven. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend skiing there to anyone. The extremely convenient location, just off the interstate, is another plus.

Not a good place for beginners and weak intermediates. Alot of their green runs (the ones located more toward the center of the mountain) are pretty steep and should warrant a blue trail rating. The greens over near Union Creek are appropriatly rated but are serviced by very slow chairs. Great place for all above the intermediate skill level. The lower level skiers would be much happier skiing Breck. Sorry Intrawest, just telling it as I ski it.
