Conditions on the mountain are fantastic for spring skiing and riding. Copper received 60 inches of snowfall in April, racking up major single-day snowfall totals, including an 18-inch powder day on April 16. The influx of late-season snow paired with Copper’s high elevation and north-facing aspect has made for a well-preserved snow surface. With this being one of Copper’s longest seasons ever, it hopes skiers and riders take advantage of the primo conditions and log as many days on the slopes as they can.

Starting Monday, May 6, skiing and riding operations will be based solely out of Center Village with access to the mountain via the American Eagle lift. Copper will have four terrain parks open including a hike park with rail features at the top of American Eagle, access to the 22-foot Superpipe, a cross course adjacent to the top of the superpipe, and rail and jump features located below the base of the superpipe. Parking is free in all interior lots excluding Ten Mile. Copper will be offering limited food and beverage options out of Starbucks and Jack’s Slopeside Grill through the end of the season. $99 day tickets are still available. Copper’s uphill Route 1 up to Aerie Lodge will remain open before and after hours. An armband and uphill pass are required to participate.
