During the early hours of October 7, snowmaking began at Copper! Our crews start from the top of the mountain near the Super Bee lift and make their way down Copperopolis then onto Andy's Encore and the U.S. Ski Team Speed Center. They also supply plenty of snow on our early season trails Rhapsody, Main Vein, Bittersweet, Foul Play and more.
