The Copper Springs Lodge is a high quality hotel in the East Village which is the perfect base for advanced skiers. It is a fantastic mountain lodge with an open lobby complete with massive fireplace and comfy sofas.
Copper Mountain offers a convenient and purpose built resort that is made of wood and stone clad condo buildings. You will definitely be impressed through by the number of activities in the village that will keep you occupied even when not skiing or boarding.
The ski resort is made up of three main villages made up of shops, bars and restaurants set out around walkways and squares where people gather to talk about their day. The East Village and Union Creek are the smaller surrounding villages that are quieter than the The Village at Copper and are connected up with a free shuttle bus. Keystone, Arapahoe and Breckenridge are all close by for day trips with Vail and Winter Park just a little bit further away.
Apres ski in Copper is made up of the lively bars that are good when the lifts close. There is live music and a nightclub to keep going till the wee small hours! There are also a few nice restaurants.
Endo’s Adrenaline Cafe is worth a visit and JJ’s Rocky Mountain Tavern offers live music most nights. Endos offers food and cheap beer. If you’re finding Copper Mountain a bit sleepy, you can hop on the free Summit bus over to Frisco where there is a huge selection of bars.
JJs gets a mention again as it offers great burgers, try Sugar Lips Mini Donuts for some great doughnuts or the Incline Bar and Grill for some interesting bison steaks.There are a few others but you’re best finding them when you’re there.
Off the slopes there is ice skating, snowmobiling, snow shoeing and dog sledding. Why not try something new like skiing or boarding with a kite? If you just want to relax then head to the Athletic Club for some lovely spa treatments.
The skiing and snowboarding at Copper Mountain has something for everyone with a good mix of trees and open slopes. The children’s ski school is known to be excellent and has a dedicated Family Ski Zone where your children can learn to ski in complete safety. Intermediates will love the top to bottom greens and blues and will enjoy trying their legs out on the bumps. For a little bit of powder the high bowls will always impress as there are some lovely moderate gradients. More advanced skiers and boarders will enjoy the seriously steep terrain in the bowls. It is worth taking one of the guided tours that run daily at in the mornings and afternoons. That way you will be making the most of the mountain. If you are staying for a while then it is worth taking the Tri-Mountain lift pass as this covers Copper Mountain, Winter Park and Steamboat.
