Generous beginner terrain and award-winning instructors at Copper Ski and Ride School cater to first-time and novice visitors. From here, you have your choice of blue cruisers in the resort’s central area, or you can keep working your way left on blue and green runs to get all the way to the West Village without having to take a series of lifts.

On the other hand, it also tends to be one of the resort’s busiest times for lodging, second only to Christmas. Moving up, Alliroo Alley has introductory features in a wooded setting alongside High Point beneath American Flyer. If you happen to be starting out near the Center Village, American Eagle drops you off right next to the base of Excelerator, which tops out near the top of Super Bee and Resolution. There’s limited backcountry access at Copper Mountain, as most of the ski area’s boundary is closed off by the Forest Supervisor to protect critical wildlife habitat. There are lengthy, impeccably groomed runs off American Eagle like Bittersweet, Bouncer, and Main View. Skiers and riders with beacons have priority, but this is a great way to see what it’s like to have a real backcountry adventure while still being in bounds. Advanced and expert shredders will want to stick to the east side, the high terrain, and the back bowls. Woodward at Copper (also known as Woodward Sports Barn) indoor training facilities are located near the Center Village at Copper.

The lift itself serves all sorts of intermediate terrain and a couple gloriously long greens (Soliloquy and High Point, along with its parallel Aliroo Alley intro terrain park), with shorter and gentler beginner terrain below. Intermediate terrain, which comprises a quarter of Copper Mountain’s skiable terrain, can be found across the resort, but most of it is right in the centre. Have a look at the daily grooming report when you get started in the morning to see where it will be!
