Copper is a great, unpretentious ski resort! There are plenty of runs that are laid out great so that beginners and advanced skiers can head to different parts of the mountain. And Copper gets some great snowfall. The new village that they are building is pretty nice, too, with shops and restaurants and lots of accomodations (for the out-of-towners).
Pros: Snow conditions, Great runs, Reasonable prices
Cons: I-70 drive
