Skiing & Riding

Copper Mountain

Frisco is Copper’s town and Copper is Frisco’s resort. It is a quick 7 minute drive from Frisco’s Main Street to Copper Mountain’s skiing/riding bliss. The best way to get to Copper from Frisco is on the free Summit Stage Bus making a trip to Copper easy and quick while you make Frisco your base camp.

Why We Love Copper

Because of course it is fabulous in every way. The lifties are kind. Copper knows how to throw a party. They have great places to grab a beer and a bite to eat. They have free skating and free snow cat rides… And summer at Copper may even be better than winter with spectacular events, golf, mountain biking, hiking and general relaxing in the lovely Colorado summer mountain vibe.

The list goes on. And if we could just remove a few mountains we could make Frisco ski in from Copper. Copper is just that close to Frisco.
