The snowguns are out and training is officially underway for our snowmaking team, as of Friday 9/27! They’re beginning to place guns around the upper mountain, as we’re preparing for the temps to drop in the next several weeks. Once we reach the optimal wet bulb temperature (below 28°F), it’s GO TIME! 🙌 ❄️ #CopperMountain #TheAthletesMountain #Snowmaking

We've seen major success from our CIRQU recycling program. In partnership with Replenysh and PepsiCo, we've recycled over 16,000 lbs. of aluminum and plastic bottles at our resort. Congrats to our friends at Replenish for this huge recognition!

Shoutout to our Copper crew that participated in the Courage Classic 80-mile loop on Saturday at the 35th Annual Children's Hospital Colorado Courage Classic! As a team, they conquered Fremont Pass, Tennessee Pass, & Vail Pass for 6,200' of climbing in the day. We continue to be inspired by this event every year and are honored to continue our long-time relationship & support of Children’s Hospital Colorado and Courage Classic. Congratulations to all the riders in the 2024 tour! 🚴

Last week, our very own Amy Geppi, Director of Food and Beverage, was recognized as Colorado Ski Country USA's Food and Beverage Professional of the Year at this year’s Double Diamond Awards! Amy has been leading Copper’s F&B operations since 2020. This past season, we witnessed Amy’s exceptional leadership overseeing the inaugural season of Aerie, our new mid-mountain lodge offering a full-service restaurant, food hall, coffee shop, and bar. Aerie is the first lodge of its kind at Copper and Amy’s #Playmaker attitude & leadership were essential to its success! Congratulations, Amy, on this well-deserved industry recognition. #CopperMountain #TheAthletesMountain #Playmaker #Aerie #CSCUSA #DoubleDiamondAwards

It's a record-setting kind of extended season and we couldn't do it without the employees that keep this place going. Today marks 346” of snowfall at Copper Mountain, which breaks this season into the top 10 all-time snowiest winters! Since we’re open later this year & therefore still tallying it up, we stand a solid chance of moving up further in the record books…stay tuned, more snow is en route before closing day on Sunday. 🏆 • #8 1994/1995 348” • #9 2023/2024 346” • #10 2007/2008 336”
