The Copper Springs Lodge is just across the road from the Super Bee six person High speed chair, ready for a run to near the top of the mountain. No beginners, there is only one green road down. Beginners are better to catch the car-park shuttle to the green area.
The top of the Super Bee opens up the Alpine lift black runs and Resolution Bowl, or blue runs down to the entire mountain, or just to Solitude Station for a meal or at least a Hot Chocolate. The Bowls of Tucker Mountain, Copper Bowl, Spaulding Bowl or Union Peak are all accessible, especially if Storm King lift is running. It is an advanced rope tow right to the highest point in Copper from where yoy can see Breckenridge and Vail mountains. Great resort naturally separated into Green Blue and black areas with a bit of overlap just to be able to meet for lunch.
While the Village doesn''t have the nightlife of Vail or Aspen there is enough going on in the Bars, restaurants, Skating rink or Athletic Club to be entertained.
If you are more keen check out the Woodward Barn to learn some Trampolining and Ski Ramp jumps into a foam pit.
