There are so many things to explore at your favorite mountain. Visit four new restaurants, ride the new Kokomo Express and take a lap on the Rocky Mountain Coaster at Copper.

Copper Mountain has always carried the reputation of being a laid-back resort where skiing is king but also a destination that offers the amenities you would find at other big ski areas.

Not only will you still find the premium ski experience you know and love but you’ll discover four new restaurants, a new alpine coaster and a new chairlift. All still with that laid-back vibe.

Ten Mile offers 20 beers on tap all hailing from various breweries from around our great state of Colorado. Don’t miss #Coppered: an amber ale brewed by 10 Barrel Brewing which can only be found at Copper Mountain.

Après takes on a whole new meaning at the Downhill Duke’s. This bar and restaurant is entirely outside on a giant south-facing patio providing plenty of sunshine well into the afternoon. There are beers and drinks a plenty as well as a menu of small plates to share. Man’s best friend is even invited with special dog-friendly offerings. No good après party is complete without live music so don’t worry, Downhill Duke’s has got it covered. With a small built-in stage right on the patio and plenty of room to dance, the music won’t end—even into the evening. This hotspot will set the bar to a whole new level of après party.

This alpine coaster winds through the forest for 5,800 feet, making it one of the longest in North America. Hop on a cart next to the base of the American Flyer lift and take in the sights of the beautiful Ten Mile Range as you make your way up the hill. Once at the top, gravity takes over and sends you down a series of curves, dips, and 360 turns that will get your heart pumping. Take it at your own pace; each cart has its own braking system so you can move at a speed you’re comfortable with. Just need a quick break from skiing?
