Copper Mountain seeks 500-acre ski terrain expansion, new lifts, including highest chairlift in North America, and more in master plan
March 11, 2025
A new master plan submitted by Copper Mountain Resort aims to expand ski terrain and add lifts to “meet the ever-growing demand for developed recreational skiing.”
The 122-page document also outlines facility upgrades, trail work, lift replacements, summer activity expansions and other capital projects aimed at improving on-mountain circulation and upgrading “guest experience.”
The news comes after Alterra Mountain Co. announced that it will allow unlimited access to Arapahoe Basin Ski Area for people who buy the 2025-26 Ikon Pass, which partners with Powder Corp.-owned Copper Mountain Resort to allow access on its slopes. The Ikon Pass also recently announced its new pass rates, which increased significantly over this season’s prices.
