The month of May has been a busy one for our operations crews! If you haven't heard, both the American Eagle and American Flyer lifts are being replaced for the 2018-19 winter season. The Eagle will be a combination lift of gondola cabins and 6-person chairs while the Flyer will be a 6-person chair with bubble enclosures. Also, a brand new entry monument is currently being built! Stay tuned for more updates throughout the summer.

Meals are a key component to any successful gathering whether it’s for work or for pleasure. If you think being in the mountains of Colorado limits your options, think again. Copper Mountain offers conference dining that may be better than what you can find at home.

The Colorado Rocky Mountains are one of the most inspiring places in the world. Such a stimulating and incredible environment can provoke some of the best ideas and plans, making Copper Mountain an ideal place for your next meeting.

At Copper, the snow season doesn’t end with winter.

April can be a bittersweet month as Copper’s winter season comes to an end. For many folks, closing day marks the time to hang up skis and snowboards and plan for summer adventures: hiking, biking, rafting, camping. Noah Schwander has his eyes on summer, too, but as Copper’s Terrain Park and Progression Manager, it’s his job to ensure there’s no end to the snow even though the lifts are no longer spinning.

I live down on the plains of Denver and the signs of spring are all around. Temps have been climbing into the sixties and seventies, the trees are starting to bud and my mind is wandering to summer adventures.

I learned to ski when I was twelve years old.  My dad took my friend and me up to a resort that used to have a rope tow (I know, eons ago) and plopped us at the base of the bunny hill. He showed us how to clip into our skis, gave us a pep talk, then he was off to carve his own turns for a few hours before meeting us for lunch. We managed to muddle our way through.
