Why Purchase Copper Mountain Real Estate
Copper Mountain Mountain Resort is
popular destination, summer or winter. It is a great place to vacation!
There is a wide variety of accommodations and lots to keep everyone entertained.
Copper Mountain Mountain is a 10 minute drive west of Frisco or an hour west of
Denver on I-70.
The history of Copper Mountain Mountain dates back to the mid 1800’s when
miners invaded Summit County. Copper Mountain was discovered in the area that now
takes its name from that mineral. In 1880, Judge John S. Wheeler established
the settlement and railroad yard (Wheeler Junction) in the only flat area
between Frisco and Leadville. It is a beautiful location between the Ten
Mile and Gore mountain ranges. The old buildings can still be seen near
the base of Alpine lift and along the back nine at Copper Mountain
Creek Golf Course. After the gold rush, Wheeler recognized the potential
for development and promoted the area as a trout fishing and horseback
riding retreat.
Within Copper Mountain Mountain are three separate areas: East Village, Main Village
& Plaza, and Union Station.
East Village offers a variety of restaurants, shops and lodging choices.
The tubing hill is located here, where you ride back up the top of the
hill holding on to a bar connected to a tow. The east side of the ski
mountain is predominately intermediate skiing to expert runs. J.J.’s
Rocky Mountain Tavern offers après' ski and exciting entertainment
to help finish off your day’s skiing experience.
Main Village & Plaza are the center of the resort, where you will
find two high speed quad chairlifts speeding you up to the top of the
pristine beginner and intermediate slopes. Most of Copper Mountain’s après’
ski, nightlife and entertainment take place in the Village at Endo’s
Adrenaline Café and Jack’s Slopeside Bar & Grill. Alexander’s
on the Creek rounds out Copper Mountain’s culinary experience by offering
high-end fine dining. Shops abound where you can find ski equipment, clothing
for any time of the day, or chocolate dipped strawberries at the Chocolate
Factory. Rental equipment can be obtained for skiing, snowboarding, ice
skating or, in the summer, paddle boats and fishing on the pond, Gore
Creek, or Ten Mile Creek.
Union Creek serves as a day base area for the new skiers. You will find
a great cafeteria in the day lodge here. A beginner's ski paradise and
the ski school house cater to those who are just starting to enjoy the
thrills of skiing/boarding. Copper Mountain’s winter sleigh rides and summer
trail rides originate from this sector of the resort as well.
Copper Mountain is the largest ski area in Summit County - with 2,433 acres of
terrain and 22 lifts (1 six-person high-speed, 4 high-speed quads, 5 triple
chairlifts, 4 double lifts & 3 conveyor belts) offering 2.602 vertical
feet, 125 trails (21% beginner, 25% intermediate, 36% advanced, 18% expert).
The ski area receives an average 280 inches of snowfall annually. Snowmaking
covers 380 acres. Its base elevation is 9,712 feet and rises to 12,313
feet at the Summit. Copper Mountain Mountain first opened for skiing in 1973 and
has grown into one of Colorado’s premier year around destination
resorts.
Copper Mountain Mountain in the summer is also very busy! Golf is the major activity,
but many enjoy bike riding, free rides up the ski lift, horseback riding,
hiking, and fly fishing.
Free parking is restricted to the perimeter of the Village areas and
visitors walk or are shuttled in from conveniently located free parking
lots. Copper Mountain has preserved the focus in the Village to people activities
rather than cars.
Copper Mountain’s full service resort offers complete conference facilities
with multiple boardrooms, meeting rooms, scrumptious meals served to attendees,
and comfortable on-site accommodations. There is a fine Athletic Club
strategically located in the center of the resort. It has an Olympic size
pool, hot tub, cardiovascular & weightlifting machines. The building
also houses the check-in office for many of Copper Mountain’s guests.
Copper Mountain Mountain. A place for all seasons. A place for you, your family and
your friends.
