Copper Mountain is an excellent choice for intermediate skiers and snowboarders. The terrain is segregated into beginner, intermediate and expert areas, each located on different parts of the mountain. The happy result is that beginners aren't intimidated by fast-moving experts, advanced skiers aren't held up by slower beginners and intermediates are left to frolic among themselves. The village at Copper Mountain offers over 40 shops and restaurants, all within walking distance from the base. There's a variety of modern condo lodging, with many units having true ski-in/ski-out access. In the summer, Copper has North America's highest golf course.
