copper mountain EVENTS & UPDATES
26/27 Opening Day
*** November 6, 2026 ***
“… reaching out with an update on Copper's scheduled opening day. The weather hasn't been on our side this fall. We have had more rain than snow and temperatures have been cool, but not cold enough for consistent snowmaking. We need a little more time to get the mountain ready with a high quality and safe snow surface, so we are delaying our opening day. “
