Copper Mountain, CO… December 13, 2006… The buzz around Copper these days is, “If you haven’t visited lately, you haven’t truly experienced Copper.” Recent updates to the après, restaurant and shopping offerings are adding to the greater variety of experiences just in time for the holiday season. The grand openings of Incline Bar & Grill Dec. 14, Copper Red Hots Dec. 15 and Chubs Dec. 16 complete the updates which now total nine new and improved restaurants and unique shopping experiences at Copper.
Incline Bar & Grill is an eclectic American grill specializing in rotisserie, barbeque, salads, sandwiches and fajitas serving lunch, après and dinner. Incline opens its doors for dinner Thursday, Dec. 14. Copper Red Hots is a new twist on an old favorite specializing in creating the perfect hot dog, bratwurst or specialty sausage for everyone in the family. Red Hots is centrally located in Burning Stones Plaza near the base of the American Eagle Chairlift. Chubs, next to West Lake, features crepes, ice cream, hot drinks, sandwiches and hot soups daily. Chubs is also the new location where guests can rent ice skates and sign up for curling and broomball games once West Lake freezes for the season.
