COPPER MOUNTAIN, CO – Snow lovers in striking distance of Copper Mountain woke to a veritable Christmas in April, with a major spring storm dumping 18″ of new snow overnight and an additional 5″ piling up on their snow stake in the wee hours of the morning. Conditions are, well… to call them UH-MAZING would be an understatement. The resort announced on April 15 that they will extend the 2023-24 season into May.
And if the gift of a foot-and-a-half of fresh powder wasn’t enough, now through the end of that extended season, Copper is offering $99 lift tickets and 40% off Friends and Family passes. For those of you hightailing it to the resort, don’t take your eyes off the road while we do the math for you: that equals ticket prices as low as $60. Plus, don’t miss the Lleky Hot Laps event on Thursday, April 18, and Copper Live on Saturday, April 20, along with the final uphill race of the Mammut Uphill Race Series.
Copper Mountain’s annual closing weekend celebration, Sunsation, will take place on April 27–28. Set your GPS for the resort, drive carefully, and enjoy free live music performances from Ripe and The Main Squeeze in Copper’s Center Village in Eagle’s Landing. Sunsation festivities continue with Slush Rush on April 27. A team relay event, Slush Rush combines several snow sport competition favorites, including halfpipe, a boarder cross course, and a jump and rail section into a pond skim. Registration and more details are available at CopperColorado.com.
