Copper Mountain conditions - early January?
Considering a trip to Copper Mountain in the 1st or 2nd week of January. By that time, will they have enough snow to have all (or at least a majority) of their terrain open? It seems like they're getting a late start to the season out there this year...
Thanks!Copper Mountain conditions - early January?
That's hard to say at this point, but people have been predicting a dry winter this year. Of course last year by mid January we had already had three blizzards in the foothills. February and March are the prime months most years, but by January it should be at least pretty decent.
Amazing what a difference a season makes. Last December, we had two major snow storms and the skiing way great. This year, it seems things are off to slower start.
I've been skiing in Colorado for the last 23 years. The areas usually have good coverage in late December and January. Feb and March tend to be a bit better, as snow has had a longer time to accumulate. Copper has a lot of snow making capacity, so there will be plenty of intermediate and beginner runs open. Advanced runs should be OK too, but the double diamond runs definately need good snow to open. Worst case, I would say 80% open in January..best of course 100% which is entirely possible.

Coldest time of the year; shortest days; I NEVER ski in January!

Are dogs allowed at 'Copper Mountain' resort?
The Resort does allow Pets, but the Ski Lodges and Condos do Not.
Hope this helps.Are dogs allowed at 'Copper Mountain' resort?
Don't even know where it is located. If it says no pets than no pets. Sorry have a nice trip
I'm sure if you look up the resort's information it should tell you some where if pets are allowed or not. If it doesn't then call the resort a head of time to check. Some dogs may be allowed (like smaller breeds) and others may not.Are dogs allowed at 'Copper Mountain' resort?

IS WINTER PARK OR COPPER MOUNTAIN SKI RESORT MORE EnJOYABLE FOR A BEGINNING SKIIER?
ive been to both and copper is by far more geared to the beginner skierIS WINTER PARK OR COPPER MOUNTAIN SKI RESORT MORE EnJOYABLE FOR A BEGINNING SKIIER?
I would suggest Copper Mountain for a beginner although they both have easy runs. There just seemed to be more flats for beginners at Copper in my opinion.
i have never been to copper mt. however i skied winter park last march and it was awesome as well as beautiful. i would recommend winter park to the beginner as well as the advanced skier.IS WINTER PARK OR COPPER MOUNTAIN SKI RESORT MORE EnJOYABLE FOR A BEGINNING SKIIER?
In my opinion, I think any winter park or ski resort is more enjoyable for a beginning skier just as much as it is enjoyable for an advanced skier and an experienced skier.
Copper Mountain is the best. Plenty of Mountain, great beginner runs. My wife was a beginner last year and she loved it. In fact they have a whole beginner side of the mountain.
My vote is Copper but Keystone is even better for new skiers and it is nearby.

Does anyone have any experience with Copper mountain, Colorado skiing?
Hi there! Assuming by the generality of your question, you're just asking about a vacationing experience.
I work there along with my brother, and roommate. They are both snowboard instructors, and I am a Lift Operator. It's a great little resort! Perfect for a family to visit, since it is not Vail associated, it is cheaper for a vacation. There's a plethora of places to stay, although, there is no where to exchange a time share (that I am aware of).
The mountain itself is divided naturally into the 3 levels of terrain. To the far east is the greens/ski school area, this area is usually closed til late December due to the lack of snow. It houses the best beginner lift, in Kokomo. In Center Village, the two featured lifts shine. The American Flyer, and the American Eagle. The American Eagle will take you to the most points on the mountain, while the Flyer will take you higher, eventually leading up to the back double black diamond bowls. (You take another lift to get to the bowls).
And off to the east is the Super Bee lift, which is home to the black diamonds of the resort.
The center village is a typical ski resort village, housing many shops and restaurants. There is also a tubing hill (which is awesome in my opinion) but it does not open usually until Christmas time because of the snow.
My recommendations are these:
If you can go to Copper, GO! It is the "skier's favorite" mountain for a reason. I even recommend working there. Me and my brother went out there to work for one season, and ended up buying a house and staying! It's a lot of fun. Feel free to email me if you have any more questions! :)Does anyone have any experience with Copper mountain, Colorado skiing?
Hi, I don't know if you'll see this but I was wondering if you knew the cheapest place to get lift tickets at Copper Mountain?
