Mountain Stats

Our Snow is the Difference

Pure, authentic, down-to-earth skiing. That’s what we’re all about at Cooper. Our mountain offers you 64 trails served by 5 lifts, spanning 480 lift-served acres.

What makes the skiing at Cooper better than anywhere else? Our snow! Mother Nature graces us with an average of about 260″ of natural fluffy stuff each season, and our high base elevation (10,500′) means that our snow stays dry and light. And we’re here to supplement Mother Nature’s efforts as well, with our unique grooming philosophy.

Unlike our neighbors, Cooper doesn’t believe in over-grooming trails, which results in hardpack conditions. Instead, we rotate our grooming terrain, which means you always get the softest snow surface possible, while still providing you with plenty of groomed variety every day.
