Two New Lifts For Copper Mountain

Copper Mountain has announced it will be upgrading two of its key lifts, but not until winter 24-25.
The Colorado resort ended its 22-23 season on Sunday, but kept spirits up by announcing what it described as its largest investment plan in over a decade ahead of next winter.
Even though the 2022-23 ski and ride season is coming to a close at Copper Mountain Resort on Sunday, May 7, guests have plenty to look forward to next winter at the resort.
The biggest chunk of the money is going on a new mid-mountain restaurant, the Aerie, being built at the top of the American Eagle lift. It will be a 25,000-square-foot, two-storey building, with the gondola accessing the second-floor deck directly.
The Aerie will offer a full-service restaurant, bar and lounge, cafeteria and 270-degree views of the Gore and Tenmile Ranges.
On mountain there'll be expanded snowmaking, unspecified improvements to the Carefree trail, Lower Enchanted and Lyman Lane and five new terrain groomers.
In terms of the new lifts, the U.S. Forest Service recently gave Copper permission to replace both the Timberline and Lumberjack lifts and the resort is currently discussing option with both Leitner Poma and Doppelmayr with the aim of working starting in summer 2024.
