The Athlete's Mountain
At Copper, being the Athlete’s Mountain means creating an environment where skiers and riders of all levels can train, compete, and progress. As an official training site for U.S. Ski & Snowboard and home to the U.S. Ski Team Speed Center, Copper has long been a hub for elite athletes chasing podiums. But beyond the pros, Copper is committed to supporting progression for everyone—from local youth competitors and amateur events to national championships that welcome skiers and riders of all ages and disciplines. With world-class terrain, purpose-built training venues, and year-round access to facilities like Woodward Copper, the mountain is designed to celebrate and elevate athletes at every stage of their journey.
In March 1976, Copper stepped in to host men’s and women’s giant slalom and slalom races after Heavenly Valley, California, was forced to cancel due to lack of snow. German skier Rosi Mittermaier swept the women’s events, and Rosi’s Run at Copper was named in her honor.
In November 1999, Copper once again answered the call, hosting the women's World Cup giant slalom and slalom races after Park City, Utah, was unable to hold the events due to poor snow conditions.
Early-season snow challenges in Aspen shifted the women’s giant slalom and slalom World Cup races to Copper, where they were successfully held in November 2001.
Copper hosted men’s Super-G and giant slalom races alongside women’s giant slalom and slalom events. Mikaela Shiffrin brought home her 104th World Cup victory in the slalom.
