Copper Mountain combines high-alpine recreation with the practical character of an Interstate 70 mountain stop in a way that reflects its position on the eastern flank of Colorado’s Tenmile Range. The resort community stands near the Continental Divide, between Frisco and Vail, where Tenmile Creek begins its course toward Dillon Reservoir. Opened as a ski resort in 1972, Copper Mountain has grown around several base areas linked to slopes rising into the surrounding high country. Its location also places it on one of Colorado’s principal year-round routes across the Rockies.
