Copper Mountain Spends on Snowmaking

Copper Mountain in Colorado will spend $6m (US) in off-season improvements for next winter, much of the money going on a 25% increase in the resort's snowmaking capacity.

The new snowmaking will be spread throughout the mountain, one of the world's 10 highest commercial ski areas, with new systems being installed in the Timberline area, adding significant intermediate terrain.

The resort anticipates better early season coverage for race camps, training, and all those skiers and riders who just can't wait to get on the slopes in November thanks tro the new snowmaking.

In addition next winter there will be a 40% increase in free parking in an expanded Corn Lot. Additional parking in Union Creek will add easy access to the beginner area of Copper's naturally divided terrain.
