"I can't say enough about the effort each employee made with our family. From the moment we arrived, to renting our skis, to boarding the lifts, getting food and interacting with the ski patrol; no matter what we did, everyone was so kind to our family. They were sincerely interested and motivated in making sure we were enjoying our time at the resort. So many times, my wife and I were delighted as a Copper team member interacted with our children and made them smile or laugh." -Tim
