Skiers and snowboarders will be ripping down the slopes at Copper Mountain Resort for an extra two weeks, thanks to above normal snowfall this season across Summit County.

In the weeks leading up to closing day, which is now on May 11, Copper has packed its schedule full of events.  

New to Copper this year is the Aerie Sunset Ski Series, set for Saturday, March 15, and Saturday, April 19. The new event will allow guests to have specialty access to terrain off the American Eagle and Excelerator lifts.

With the evening centering around Copper’s mid-mountain lodge, Aerie, guests can then get off the slopes, get food and enjoy live music from the Chris Bauer Trio on March 15 and Beau Thomas on April 19.

On April 26, skiers and riders are invited to close out another great season with Peace Out in Central Park. The event will feature a special park event in Central Park with a refreshed build, fun features, swag giveaways, cash for tricks and music. Pro snowboarder and original Peace Park creator Danny Davis is scheduled to be at the event to celebrate the terrain park he founded.
