Downhill Mountain Biking

Attention:
Copper Mountain is proud to host the Mountain States Cup – Copper Cup Mountain Bike Race August 29 & 30.

Due to this exciting event the chair lift – equipment haul access is closed to the public on both Saturday 8/29 and Sunday 8/30.  During those two days Copper will be hosting a Super D and a Cross Country race and to ensure both racer and public safety we cannot have other cyclists or digglers on the trails.  The lift will still be open for foot passengers, hikers (designated trails) and lunch goers but all public should be aware that there is a race in progress and to be careful of cyclists on course.  We will open the mountain to public on Monday 8/31 for normal operations. If you encounter a guest issue or question related to these closures please direct the individual to guest services in the Mountain Adventure Center.
