Well it's alot better than PA
Had a pass at Copper for the last 6 years...
one time at Engleberg ma told me wash pants upside down. decided that it was the cops fault and left.
yea i heard its better then PA .. but only a few times.. so ggski i take it that its a cool place. never been anywere outwest skiing only been to CO once and that was to the garden of the gods and the airforce academy on the way to philmont New mexico
Do you like long walks under the moon?
I dont live there, but I've skied at Copper a fair amount.
i really like that mountain, it's a great place for tele, as the back of the mountain has lots of terrain that you have to sidestep/sortahike to get to. Snowboarders and alpiners have to click out for alot of it, but on teles you can just walk right out there. It has decent terrain, good enough to keep you interested after being in PA.
have fun
I live in Frisco and ski Copper and Vail pass frequently. You're stoked as a Copper employee, you can use you comp real deal passses to ride at any other CO mtn other than Vail Resorts.
See you this winter, would love to use a comp real deal pass sometime!!!
I spent many nights at the Edge....its ok I guess
the edge . yea i figured its not so hot . rooms are small. living with non english speaking people isnt on my high priority list. but the kids ski school is a short walk as well as the american flyer lift. wont have to wrestle with parking ( i hear you have to park far away then shuttle in) so il stumble out of bed down stairs and be ready to go...
il throw this out to.. i have a lifted jeep cherokee usually when im not skiing im tinkering with that thing.. here are some pics from yahoo.. theres tuckerman pictures from this april in there also......as well as some jeep ones. http://photos.yahoo.com/ph//my_photos would like to get a part time night job a couple days a week to get some play $ if anyone knows anyone who knows someone who is someone let me know
ps is anyone here going to the anomaly movie tour on nov 9 at the dillon dam brewery?
thanks. keith
Copper is a very cool place. Lots of good terrain in the back bowls and not much traffic. Once you get to know your way around there are always stashes of good snow to be found due to the elevation and the aspect, especially if you are willing to hike a few minutes. The front side gets logjammed on weekends but, what the bleep are you doing there anyway...
You no fit in here. Hardly anyone speaks english on TGR.Quote:

The cafeteria at the edge is a pretty good deal (especially if you are visiting Copper). You won't be able to get real deals for Breckenridge or Keystone (why would you want to?), Vail or Beaver Creek. (In other words, the only other "local" resorts you'll be able to ski for free are the basin, Copper and Loveland.)Quote:

(skied every trail and a lot that wernt) at killington this past winter. but il play it by year. snowmobiles huh? better then trying to find compitent people to get them on the lift haha
