Copper Mountain ‘farms’ snow to last all summer for its terrain park
June 12, 2023
Every spring, the terrain parks on Copper Mountain are slowly consolidated into one large snow patch which lasts through the summer.
The man-made snow on the west side of the mountain gets moved over to the aptly named Central Park, which is formed in the center of Copper’s many other parks. The snow that creates the Peace Park, Pipe Dream and Red’s Back Yard terrain parks, along with the snow from some of the nearby trails, all gets pushed into one zone which has a magic carpet lift running alongside it.
That zone then becomes the only lift-served terrain in Colorado for the summer, allowing kids to sign up for one-week camps designed to help them progress during the months when their on-snow skills might normally regress.
