Copper Mountain Beginner Skiing
Copper’s naturally divided terrain lends the west side of the mountain to beginners of all sorts and the best areas for beginners is the west village, Union Creek learning center.Gentle, uncrowded slopes make a perfect unintimidating learning scene. There are family ski zones, wide trails for cruising, and slow skiing zones, patrolled for speeders, and quite often an intermediate trail is only a turn away-perfect for groups of varying abilities. The 9,712-foot (2,960-m) base elevation ensures optimal conditions throughout the winter season. While Copper extends an entire beginner area within the Union Creek section, beginners can also head to the top of the mountain, on Rendezvous lift, to experience the breathtaking views from atop the 10 Mile Range, while still enjoying very gentle slopes.
