Not to Brag, But We’re Measuring New Snow in Feet at Copper Mountain!
If you like it deep and soft, this could be the week to ski at Copper Mountain. A prolonged snowstorm is finally clearing the area, but not before dumping just about three feet of snow in the past week, and more than five feet since the start of January. Thanks to the fresh snow, Copper has about 2.000 acres of terrain open, with 57-inch base at mid-mountain.

If you're curious about how and why some folks continue riding their two-wheelers even in the coldest season, be sure to to check Copper Mountain's 3d annual WinterBike event coming up Jan. 18-19.
