  • If you want to get away from the crowds and ski a nice little local mountain this is it. The snow was great, prices are reasonable, the staff was very friendly, and we never waited in a single lift...

  • Colorado's best ski resort; Reasonable price without the pretense. Park 100 meters from the lift and get skiing

  • Had a great time downhill skiing here! Very friendly staff! Plenty of powder pockets and groomers to enjoy! Beautiful views of Elbert, Massive, and Holy Cross. The lifts are slow, yet much less crowded than the larger ski resorts, so the time from bottom to top didn't seem all that long. Would definitely ski here again!
  • What and amazing ski resort!!! I've been all over CO. and I always see rude employees... NOT at Ski Cooper!!! The staff was super friendly, very patient and kind!!! What a spectacular venue, family friendly, full of beginner and intermediate runs, but with those double blacks as well to satisfy the seasoned skiers/snowboarders! Everything about the place was chill, not even 1 person on the slopes was angry and yelling about lines, because everyone was very respectful to everyone else!!! Of course, there's a taproom and it's very quaint but such a cool vibe inside!!!! I highly recommend taking your family here!
