Copper Mountain at a Glance
Located a mere 10-minute drive southwest of Frisco,
Copper Mountain is a relatively new resort among Northern
Rockies ski
destinations. Boasting a ski resort with an award-winning trail system, Copper
Mountain also features a pedestrian village that is filled with eclectic shops,
trendy restaurants and charming lodging options. This resort offers much more
than skiing, however; it also serves as a scenic summer destination renowned for
its golfing, hiking and biking opportunities. The mountain's American
Eagle Chair Lift offers a birds-eye view of the surrounding peaks, as it takes
passengers to a height of more than 11,000 ft (3,300 m) every weekend from May
through September. Colorado's largest outdoor climbing
wall, which stands 35 ft (10.7 m) tall, is also found on the mountain and
offers climbing adventure during summer months. Every Labor Day weekend in September,
Copper Mountain is abuzz during the Copper
Country Music Fest, which features performances by some of country music's
biggest stars.
