With the Majestic Rocky Mountains as a backdrop, Copper Mountain Resort can be an inspiration to guests. But the resort is more than breathtaking views and grand vistas. Seventy-five miles west of Denver and 9,500 feet up in the mountains, Copper Mountain has blossomed as a year-round destination. Outdoor activities, in addition to fantastic skiing, include biking, fly-fishing, white-water rafting, and horseback riding. Golfers can take advantage of the awe-inspiring mountain courses at both the Copper Creek Golf Course and the nearby Raven Golf Club at Three Peaks in Silverthorne.

The Copper Conference Center offers 50,000 square feet of flexible meeting space that handles everything from small brainstorming sessions to receptions for more than 800 people. The new Copper Pavilion, with 18,000 square feet of space, sits at the foot of several ski runs and is available June through September for meetings, receptions, banquets, and other large events.

The conference center facilities, as well as lodging (one-, two-, and three-bedroom condos), sit in the middle of a traditional mountain ski village, among retail shops, pubs, and restaurants. A full-service spa is due to open next year.
