Copper Mountain Colorado is the perfect winter vacation destination because there is so much to do. Fun can be found for all ages. Take in the snow-in-your-face thrill of snow tubing, stop by the CopperCade, or unwind at the Athletic Club with a swim in the pool. Perhaps you would like horse drawn sleigh ride through the Rocky Mountain National Forest, culminating in a scrumptious cowboy dinner in an authentic 18th century miner's tent. Other seasonal activities include snowshoeing, snowmobiling or fishing in this Colorado winter wonderland. Whatever you choose, be sure to make Copper Mountain Colorado your winter vacation resort.


SLOPETRACKER
SlopeTrackerT allows you to keep track of the number of runs, vertical feet descended, speed attained, calories burned, distance traveled and map the terrain you've covered in a day. In essence, the SlopeTrackerT allows you to keep "score." You can evaluate your performance and take home a customized SlopeTrackerT color map to prove your accomplishments. Brag to your friends about all the vertical you're rippin' and have the paperwork to prove it!

COPPER MOUNTAIN ATHLETIC CLUB
The Copper Mountain Athletic Club is a multi-service athletic club with tons of ways to make you feel your best. But, as far as the kids are concerned, it's just a really great swimming pool. The 25-yard, four-lane pool always has at least two lanes open for family and recreational swimming. Adjacent to the pool is a large co-ed spa (male and female only spas, steam rooms and saunas are located in each locker room). And the club features weight room, cardiovascular center, massage, facials and racquetball.
