Contribute Feedback What Tristin Walter likes about Copper Red Hots:
We had the best time at Copper Mountain's Tubing Hill during our family holiday to Colorado. The parking lot was a bit packed, but the buses run constantly and we had no problems getting to the mountain. We knocked as a family, as individuals, in pairs .. we all had an explosion! The hill was not packed so we were able to have as many time as we wanted in our hour! Tubing is a must when you're in Colorado! View all feedback.
We love Copper. Free parking. Comfortable buses. Easy switch from one ski area to another. My only suggestion would be to open lifts at 8:30am instead of 9 am, at least on weekends.
Great place to take kids to learn to ski. Lots of convenient ski in/ski out condos. We had a wonderful time, would come back again!
Really fun mountain and good trail layout. Most greens are concentrated in an area, so easy to practice for beginners without worrying about running in too difficult from a run. When someone who enjoys the blues the occasional black, it was nice that the areas of the mountain overflowed sparingly. What is with copper is that the runs are LONGGGG. Make sure to take the Rendezvous Sierra lifts for a bowl-like skiing, even if you are more on the beginners/intermediate side. Nice!
I wanted to ski a few days in March. Skiing itself was great. There are more beautiful and newer resorts that offer a better holistic experience when that is what you are looking for. Copper looks his age. But if only skiing for less money, a good choice. There are also other things to do in the area...Snowmobiling 20 minutes near Leadville. Hiking the Mayflower Gulch 5 minutes away. City of Frisco with good food 10 minutes away. The beginner area was good when you get it, with two different sections (via the magic carpet), which really help to learn and are challenged in a safe way. But unfortunately there is no easy way to get from the base. You have to get in ski boots quite a bit up to get to this area. Other green paths in the western village were fun and some are quite long. The bus system between the areas was pretty good. Eating the places we tried was also decent.
Parking was easy with free or paid lot options. Incredible variety of terrain from 12,400 ft steep bowls to groomers to many park options with half pipes. Fantastic lifts makes it easy to get around the entire mountain. Great food options on mountain like TRex Grill or the base areas. Spectacular views of fourteeners in the bowls.
