ski fashion can be anything you want it to be we've seen your traditional
separate pants and jackets we've seen a lot of onesie outfits where everything's
kind of all in one kind of a retro look and lots of different head coverings
this is copper mountain this is one of my favorite ski resorts here in the Rockies
there's a fire in a ball
copper fountain my favorite thing about copper mountain is that it has all of the awesome things
you would expect in a typical ski resort in the Rockies but it's a little bit low-key in a
nice way it's not as crowded the lift lines are not long as far as the snow conditions and the
amount of runs and the layout of the mountain it's amazing it's just like any other top level world
class ski resort copper mountain is laid out in such a way that each section of the mountain has
different skill levels the eastern part of the mountain is going to have your more expert terrain
then the center part of the mountain is a bit more intermediate that's where your blue square skiers
may find a lot of nice runs and then the western part of the mountain is where the beginners are
skiing a lot of green runs there's also some nice really nice blue runs on the west side of
mountain as well something really nice about that is you don't have to worry about different levels
of ski trails intersecting each other you can stay to whatever part of the mountain that
has the runs that interest you and you really don't have to worry about
accidentally getting on a level of run that you didn't intend to the copper sign behind
me is actually carved out of snow which is pretty awesome it looks like they just dyed
the negative space in between the letters blue to make it stand out a little bit more
getting around copper mountain is actually very easy there's free shuttles
there are several routes uh the simplest one is the copper route basically it just stops at the
main villages of copper mountain we've used the copper loop the most often
to get from east village center village and west village the three villages at the base
of copper mountain really provide anything you could possibly need during your vacation here
center village is actually the largest village but there's also east village and west village all
have dining options shopping options lots of fun places to explore so everything you need it's here
if you're in center village it's also fun to sit in a steel chair and kind of kick back
and enjoy yourself
i get cold very easily and i do not like to be very very cool so is this what you do after a very
long day of cold skin yes i'm trying to warm up
the feels like temperature was negative 10 degrees outside which is a whole different
category of cold it's kind of like having a space heater but bigger and more powerful
it's been so amazing to be able to wake up to this view every morning and just watch throughout the
day when we're hanging out in the condo watched all the people come down the nice black slopes
right in front of us and see all the fascinating ski attire on people about to load onto the super
v lift when you originally order your gift tickets online you get an email that has a barcode in it
then you just take your phone open up that email scan the barcode right underneath there and a
few seconds later you get your lift ticket and it even has your name on it super convenient isn't it
copper card when you buy your lift tickets you can actually pay a little bit of extra money
and get something that's called a fast track and what that does is it lets you bypass the regular
lift lines but we really didn't think that it was necessary at all because the longest lift lines
we experienced were still just a few minutes but it's an option if it's something you want to do
fun fact about copper mountain is that the movie dumb and dumber all of the skiing scenes in that
movie were actually shot in copper mountain not aspen so the scene when uh harry uh stuck his
tongue out to lick the little metal uh thingy that was here in copper mountain oh look frost harry
are you okay oh yeah hey are you gonna use it all the time
my favorite lift so far is the American flyer lift because it's got
the blue plastic bubble that you just kind of grab and pull over you
and that keeps you a little bit warmer and drier and it's a pretty long lift so it's really nice
to have that blue bubble being inside this blue bubble it's like so nice and quiet
and warm it's very soothing it is it's almost like you're secluded from the elements
this is such a unique lift this is the rendezvous lift and when you go on top of it
it gives you the chance to have a very nice view you can even see some of the mountains
behind us and several peaks in almost all directions it's totally worth it
and what's interesting is that you see over there in this direction all of that area above the three
lines there's no trees just snow that area gets pretty wind swept up there because there aren't
any trees so sometimes if you're skiing up there you've got to watch out for rocks
and hazards i wouldn't know that from personal experience but i've heard
I would say that rendezvous is probably one of the most scenic cliffs today
one of the many fun aspects of skiing is hanging out at a lodge to warm up and
drinking hot chocolate somehow hot chocolate is better after skiing for a few hours
what a beautiful mountain the view from anywhere on the mountain even here at the base is just
extraordinary straight ahead of me are beautiful mountains i don't think it's really part of the
ski resort and i don't know that you'd really want to ski but it's certainly beautiful to look at
often the distance a little bit behind the super b lift is where you can go tubing
what a great ski resort i would come back here every year
