ACTIVITIES
Copper Mountain is perfect for a family skiing holiday, because a
family that plays together stays together. And we know that your
playing for the day isn't over when the slopes close. That's why we
offer a wealth of family friendly fun-stuff for kids of all ages (from
2 to 102). Take in the snow-in-your-face thrill of snow tubing, stop
by the CopperCade, or unwind at the Athletic Club with a swim in the
pool. Or maybe you would like to take the troops for a horse drawn
sleigh ride through the Rocky Mountain National Forest, culminating in
a scrumptious cowboy dinner in an authentic 18th century miner's tent.
Whatever you choose, be sure to make Copper Mountain the destination
for your winter family vacations.
