Mountain Clean Up Day presented by Pepsi

Take part in the Play Forever Mountain Clean-Up Day at Copper Mountain, presented by Pepsi

Here’s your chance to show a little love for our favorite mountain. Participants will receive a trash bag, gloves, and will be assigned to a specific group and area on the mountain for cleaning.

You will get to explore and take in the picturesque beauty of Copper Mountain, all while collecting litter along the way. After turning in your trash bag, Copper welcomes you to enjoy lunch, grab a cold beverage, grab a swag item, and listen to some tunes!

Thanks for helping Copper protect the environment so future generations can Play Forever! Click here for more info.
