Summit County residents battle for top spots at Copper Mountain Melee mountain bike race
July 29, 2023
Copper Mountain Resort is busy with high-caliber snowboard and skiing competitions through most of the year, with athletes from all over the world coming to compete on the resort’s superpipe, big air and slopestyle venues.
Copper Mountain has looked a little different over the last week as mountain bikers of all ages have pedaled their way up, down and across the almost snow-free ski slopes of the resort.
This past weekend, Copper Mountain served as the hosts of the Colorado State Mountain Bike Championships. Less than three days later, on Wednesday, July 26, the mountain hosted another mountain biking race: Race Breck’s Summit Mountain Challenge Mountain Bike Race — Copper Mountain Melee.
