What is All This 'Everyone Needs a Snow Day' Stuff at Copper?

Copper Mountain, CO - Copper Mountain knows there are skiers and riders out there who have never felt the thrill of waking up and hearing on the radio that school was canceled. There are people who have never spent a whole day in the snow doing anything their heart desired. These people, and those who understand snow day bliss, are the reason we do what we do.
The goal is to make Copper the place people come to take a day, or two or seven and experience the mountain. The Snow Day cause is in full steam – we are dedicated to each and every one of you deserving a snow day, so we cooked up a way to help.

We’re all about the people, so we want all the Snow Day lovers to unite with our Ski Patrol.
