I went to Copper for the first time last year. It definitely surpassed all of my expectations. You can find some wonderful secluded runs that make you feel that you have the whole mountain to yourself. There are some good food choices and the lift system worked like a charm. I came in as a beginner-intermediate and, due to the deep fresh powder, was able work my way up to some of the harder stuff. There are lots of moguls, powder, and beautiful runs to encourage even a novice to challenge him/herself to try harder difficulties. I loved it and would encourage anyone to try it at least once. I skiied Winter Park on the same trip and did not enjoy it near as much.
