Copper Mountain Ski Resort

Copper Mountain is a purpose-built and largely pedestrianised resort in Colorado, which in recent years has been transformed into a mostly wood and stone affair, similar to other modern resort developments in the USA that have followed the Whistler model where the base resort design is the priority.

There’s a good range of skiing on some of the world’s highest slopes and the resort is handily placed for the towns of Frisco and Silverthorne, and other nearby ski areas.

Accommodation in Copper Mountain is virtually all in convenient slopeside condominiums, most of which are interconnected by walkways and separated by squares. However, the expansion of the resort has led to the creation of several ‘districts’ which are connected by a shuttle bus service so it is worth checking exactly where your accommodation is when booking, although the majority are slopeside.
