I stayed in the Tucker Mountain Lodge which is part of the Centre Village complex at Copper. The room was basic, but pretty spacious, clean and everything worked just fine. The fold down murphy double bed was perfectly comfortable. You're very near (2 minutes) the main Eagle lifts as well as shops and restaurants. All in all it's an ideal base to enjoy a really good ski resort. Bus transfers to copper from Denver airport can be arranged through the central resort desk. Takes about 1 hour 45 mins and not too expensive.

We completed a ski trip this spring going to Vail and Copper Mountain. Vail is a world class destination, but with two small children we didn't need all of the extras that Vail goes to be over the top. We stayed at the Vail Marriott while in Vail and with a private owner, Marcella, while in Copper. The experience in Copper was much better than the one in Vail. We got a two bedroom condo in Copper One for less than a regular (Mountain View) hotel room in Vail. The unit was nicely appointed with very comfortable mattresses a full kitchen etc and a perfect view of the slopes. I would much rather stay in a two bedroom unit than a hotel room. The condo has a hot tub and fitness center in case you want to work out after skiing. The center village is a little lacking in restaurants and night life, but with our children we were in bed early after skiing. We didn't experience hardly a single line at Copper and we were very tired from constant skiing. I enjoyed the Chinese restaurant in the Center Village as well as the two pizza restaurants. We did find much better value in Frisco just a few miles away as the restaurants in the Center Village cater to tourists and are more expensive. I would definitely recommend going with a private owner if you stay in Copper as they generally offer better deals than booking directly with the resort.

We were a group of six friends staying in two condo's, self catering with three in each, we travelled with Crystal via British Airways for a seven day trip to Ski Copper Mountain.

It was my first time, but some of the others had enjoyed this area before a couple of years before, they were so impressed with the layout that we all decided to go again.

I was not disappointed, if you are looking for a Skiing trip that allows you to Ski almost to your accommadation with very little crowds then this is for you.

The accommadation was excellent, enough room for three of us and a working kitchen that was more than adequate.

The mountain was in excellent condition and was a delight to find that most of the time you were Skiing on your own, be aware that we did experience more crowds at the weekend but we found out that it was due to a Bank Holiday (Presidents Day) so avoid this if you can when booking.

Apri Ski is limited as most of the reviews say, the Americans seem to have a drink and dinner soon after leaving the slops and leave the bars early, so not a lot of atmosphere.

I had to rent a pair of Ski's, the Crystal rep said that it would be $240, to rent for 6 days, which I thought was expensive, however due to my friends they told me that a second hand Ski shop was only a 30 minute bus ride away (all bus rides are free, so getting around is easy) in a place called Frisco, near the Safeway Supermarket, Ski's and Poles cost me $160 and they are of high quality and I would say a couple of years old, but they were great, I even brought them back to the UK, they have a huge choice well worth the trip.

I would highly recommend Copper Mountain and the Village at Copper for your accommadation, whether you are a Family, Couple or a Group of Friends.

Fun and Happy. Everything you're looking for with easy or hard levels of skiing. I ski on green runs so to get warmed up, i went on the bunny hill. about 25 feet long and barley even a hill. You go on a "magic carpet" and ur at the top. Keep on the bunny hill for about 30 minutes to get used to stopping, turning, and etc. Then their is a bunny hill called the "PITCHFORK" run right next to it. Trust me! Go on the PITCHFORK run! I went on it for my whole trip! A nice, short, easy run where you can see the end of the mountain so its just about 500 feet to the bottom of the lift which took me about 4 minutes to get to. As for food and entertainment, the main "COPPER ONE" food-court had a huge range of food and bands at night. Great experience. Lot of fun and great service.
