A Look Inside the Aerie

Village Updates

Oct 30

Opening To The Public On November 13, 2023 (opening day)

Copper is heightening its on-mountain dining experiences with the addition of a new lodge, to be known as The Aerie. This space will replace the existing Solitude Station mid-mountain lodge, located at the top of the American Eagle lift. An aerie an be defined as a large nest of a bird of prey - especially an eagle - typically built high in a tree or on a cliff. With the lodge sitting atop the American Eagle lift, the resort believes this name reverberates the dominate energy of Copper's future.

The Aerie will consist of a 25,000-square-foot, two-story building and the gondola will unload on the second-floor deck, which will allow for a seamless transition for all guests, including those arriving by foot. For the first time at Copper, the new lodge will offer a full-service on-mountain restaurant “Forage and Feast” featuring unique Colorado cuisine. With a full-service casual restaurant, bar and lounge, a private dining area for events, cafeteria, and 270-degree views of the Gore and Ten Mile Ranges, this project will take Copper’s on-mountain dining to the next level and continue to improve the year-round mountain experience at the resort.
