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.
TUBING HILL
Snowplay enthusiasts of all ages will enjoy the thrill of Copper's snow tubing hill. Serviced by The Stinger surface lift, riders cruise down snow-filled lanes with varying degrees of pitch. Located at the base of the Super Bee lift in the East Village. Click here for more information. Tubing at Copper starts on December 19, 2003, and will run until April 11, 2004.
ICE SKATING
What winter family vacation would be complete without ice skating? Ice skating at Copper is back. After a couple years of construction to build new shops and restaurants in the Village at Copper, West Lake is once again open for skating. Ice skating is open 10am-7pm Sunday through Thursday, and from 10am-9pm on Friday and Saturday. Skate rentals are available for just $5.95/hour for kids 13 and under and $7.95/hr for ages 14 and older. Skating is free to those who own their own skates. Opening date for ice skating is dependent on weather conditions - please call 866-841-2481 for more information.
COPPER MOUNTAIN ATHLETIC CLUB
The Copper Mountain Athletic Club is a multi-service athletic club with tons of ways to make you feel your best. But, as far as the kids are concerned, it's just a really great swimming pool. The 25-yard, four-lane pool always has at least two lanes open for family and recreational swimming. Adjacent to the pool is a large co-ed spa (male and female only spas, steam rooms and saunas are located in each locker room). And the club features weight room, cardiovascular center, massage, facials and racquetball.
Club access is free to most guests who book their winter family vacations through Copper Mountain Lodging Services (some restrictions apply). Daily passes are available for $10 per day. Located on Copper Road.
