Centrally located and far less crowded than some of Colorado’s better known ski resorts, staying in Copper Mountain is an excellent way to maximize your time on the hill this winter. Just an hour from Denver and about 30 minutes from both the restaurants and winter fun in Breckenridge, Copper Mountain is also a short drive from the world-famous bowls of Vail Mountain. Copper really does promise the best of everything the high country has to offer.

While proximity to other big mountains is a huge plus — Keystone, Loveland, Arapahoe Basin, and Beaver Creek are also less than an hour away — Copper Mountain is much more than just a place to stay. Though smaller in size, its runs are no less epic than those found on other mountains. Whether you are a beginner or an expert, Copper has something for everyone. And, when the lifts are at your doorstep, it’s hard to resist making fresh turns in the newly-opened Three Bears Bowl and taking great leaps of faith in the famous half pipe. Any children in your group are sure to love Copper’s excellent tubing hill.
If you’re planning a ski holiday, you’ll definitely want to take a look at these 10 Copper Mountain homes. Each property on this list is no more than a short walk away from the base.
