Report from 20th February 2020

For some reason, weโ€™ve never skied Copper before. Weโ€™ve been in Colorado 10-years now and hit almost all resorts, but Copper has eluded us, until today, when we found out what weโ€™d been missing.

A few inches of fresh snow overnight refreshed the conditions, and the snow was fast.

We took the new gondola up, then the fastest quad Iโ€™ve ever ridden, Excelerator, up even higher. We then skied the 2,200k vert straight down to the bottom of Alpine. Our legs probably werenโ€™t ready for 2k of vert straight off after a full day cat-skiing yesterday!

Groomers on the front side were ripping, super quick.

Moguls were โ€˜rock starโ€™ bumps, not big shark teeth and soft enough to just get in a rhythm and go. Yeehaw!

We didnโ€™t wait in line once and had the slopes to ourselves.

We made it up high to Tucker Mountain at 12,400-feet and hit Falcon Alley in the bowl there. The snow was good underfoot, super fun.

Good times, it definitely wonโ€™t be another 10-years before we return!
