Copper Mountain is on a direct line from Denver, off of I-70. There’s a wide variety of slopes with natural terrain, which are easy to navigate with easier to west, harder to east. ACUI Past President Colette Berge is a Copper Mountain Ambassador who is partnering on the planning for this opportunity. The destination is less expensive and crowded than other areas nearby and is known for its hospitality, international training and competitions, and a wide variety of terrain over four peaks.

While we determine what arrangements will meet the interests of those hoping to participate, it is important to acknowledge that a wide range of options exist. Ultimately, we anticipate securing some group transportation and lodging options, and participants will arrange the details of their time at Copper Mountain independently. The costs will greatly depend on what you need, your previous experience with skiing, and how long you plan to stay.

Offerings include: lessons; day pass(es) for 1–4 days; snowshoeing, tubing, skiing, and snowboarding; equipment rentals; and clothing rentals. These websites will help you learn more about what is available and current price ranges:

Group transportation pricing could range from $75–$220 per person, depending on how many want to go and the extent to which individuals are on the same timelines.

Due to the season of this opportunity, lodging on the mountain could approach $400/night, while there are other options being explored in nearby Frisco, CO that are closer to $200/night.
