Hacks to Make Skiing Out West Affordable

[Anonymous]

For anyone who might be considering Copper for next year, they have a great deal on 4-packs of lift tickets for REI members right now. $189, no blackout dates. Copper is also planning to install two new 6-person high speed bubble lifts this summer, pending Forest Service approval (I can’t imagine this administration not approving it). We’ve started skiing there more than Breckenridge because it’s less crowded and the food is more affordable.

How do you get there?

How does Copper work for family skiing? I haven't skied there because I like to ski blacks for a few runs while the rest of the family mainly sticks to blues and that seems harder to do at Copper given how the terrain is more separated (blacks mainly in one area, blues in another). or is it easier to get around than I think?

If we’re all together we generally stick to blues, because my kids don’t want to kill me. Haha. My oldest and my husband will go ski blacks, and my younger two are usually with their ski team. I think if you’re meeting up at Solitude instead of the base you could probably split up and regroup pretty easily—but that won’t work if someone wants to stay on green runs, since you really want to be at west village for those.

Californian who grew up in Canada- mammoth is a joke. Go to Canada or Tahoe.
