It was a snowy week last week dropping 16 inches of snow at Ski Cooper. With the colder temperatures, the Cooper crew is building a great base for the upcoming season!

Come out this Saturday, Oct. 20 to enjoy the views of the fresh snow, hear what’s new at Cooper and spend time with your ski & snowboard friends. There will be live music from Carey Nall & Winter as well as FREE FOOD! You can get your Ski Cooper season pass printed or purchase your 4 Day XP Pass for only $129 at the Guest Service Desk. There will also be a showing of the Street Level videos shot by Colorado Public Television with scenes from Leadville, Cooper & Chicago Ridge.
