Colorado’s Family Playground!
Copper Mountain, located just under 2 hours from Denver, is a winter playground for all ages and is a great destination for your next family ski and snowboard adventure!

Where else can you get free snow cat rides to an epic back bowl of fresh pow and steep chutes?!

Enjoy some après and live music whilst the kids hang out with their new-found friends! With activities including arts & crafts, games, interactive Wii, dinner and a movie, they might never want to leave!
It’s never too late to learn a new skill, so why not try your luck at broom ball or ice hockey on West Lake! Grab some skates and enjoy this beautiful, frozen lake in the centre village surrounded by Christmas lights and the majestic Rocky Mountains. If skating is not for you, roast some marshmallows around the bonfire with the family or watch from the comfort of Mulligans Irish Pub!
For the ultimate chill-out zone that even your teenagers will think is cool, cruise into the Lounge and hang out on the giant bean-bags while you watch the latest shred and ski flicks. Play a little PlayStation or Xbox 360; challenge your friends to Ping Pong or Foosball. Design your own custom skate deck with Create-A-Skate. Play some old school video games in the vintage arcade, and much more. You can also skate their 2′ mini bowl in the CAGE!
If you are celebrating a special occasion, or just want to treat your significant other with a romantic evening under the stars, the Moonlight Dine & Ski will be a magical experience you will never forget! Catch the American Eagle Lift to mid-mountain, and enjoy a gourmet buffet dinner and complimentary cocktails, all accompanied by the soulful vocals of a local musician. To top it off, take to the snow and ski or ride back down to the village centre under the twinkle of stars.
