Summit County, Colorado

Copper Mountain, Colorado

A self-contained mountain village with naturally divided ski terrain and Frisco ten miles to the east.

Why stay at Copper Mountain

Copper suits travelers who want to wake up near the lifts and spend most of the trip on one mountain. Its three villages serve different lifts and ability levels. Frisco is the nearest full town and has a wider choice of restaurants and shops.

Choose the right village

Center Village has the broadest mix of lifts, restaurants, and activity. East Village is convenient for advanced terrain, while West Village often suits beginners and families. Confirm current lift operations before choosing a building.

Frisco is the nearby town

Copper sits directly on I-70, but Keystone and Breckenridge are not casual dinner runs after a ski day. Frisco is much closer and makes the most sensible off-resort evening.
