Hi Lianne,
 
This was my first trip to Copper Mountain.  I have previously skied Keystone (3x) and Breckenridge(1x) when I lived in the US.  I must say that I was a bit hestant as my general perception of Copper developed over the years was that it represented a smaller mountain with less challenging trails (I’m an expert skier) and less exciting nightlife. 
 
Boy was I completely wrong.  I found the mountain fabulous. Staff were very friendly, the sking great and the range of expert trails super.  As an added bonus the mountain was extensive enough to hide a crowd of skiers. …but that wouldn’t have mattered as the lodge/ski pass combination provided a “fast pass” electronic ski pass that vertually put you in the front of any lift line.  Add two days of fresh powder …what more can you ask for.
 
The lodge (single bedroom with murphy bed) was also super.  Easy check-in, 5 minute walk to the lift with views from our room of the slopes.  The village bars and restaurants were also great.  My wife and I also took day trips to Aspen and Breckenridge to view the shops and the slopes and concluded that Copper was definitely our choice.  
So an emphatic 10. 
Cheers,
Terry P

TELLURIDE, CO. February 10, 2009 - Nearly a foot and a half of snow has blanketed the Telluride Ski Area in the past 36 hours, including an whopping 10 inches (25 cm) which greeted the top of the ski area this morning.

“After a record setting start to the season and continuing storms rolling through, Telluride boasts some of the best conditions in ski country,” said Dave Riley, chief operating officer at the Telluride Ski Resort, “and with our new Revelation Bowl and incredible ‘inbounds backcountry’ terrain, Telluride is truly unmatched in North America.”

Telluride and the San Juan Mountains are currently under a winter storm warning issued by the National Weather Service. Snow showers started Sunday afternoon, with snow continuing throughout the week. The current storm cycle brought 10” (25 cm) overnight and 16” (41 cm) in the last 48 hours. A 66-inch (168 cm) mountain base was reported with epic powder conditions as of 7 am this morning.

The National Weather Service is reporting a series of Pacific storms to continue to bring snow to the mountains the entire week, with chances of precipitation Wednesday night through the weekend.

Since the resort opened on November 26th, more than 17 feet (518 cm) of snow has fallen in Telluride, with 205 inches (521 cm) total. 

“Telluride is priming up for a terrific President’s Weekend,” said Matt Skinner, executive director of sales and marketing for the resort.  “With these great conditions, there is no better time to book a ski vacation in Telluride!”

An overnight storm has dropped twenty four inches of snow at mid-mountain in Telluride, with more than three feet in the new Revelation Bowl, and it’s still snowing hard. The town is abuzz with excitement as conversations focus around favorite runs and epic days, and especially on the new terrain and improvements at the ski resort.

With the finishing touches recently completed in Revelation Bowl and the new lift ready for operation, the fresh snow is a great start for the season to come. Opening day is just three weeks away, and anticipation is at its height with Revelation now added to Black Iron Bowl and Palmyra Peak, opened mid-season last year.  “This storm has added a solid layer to the snowmaking already underway,” said CEO Dave Riley, “We’re looking forward to a great year, with new terrain, restaurants, howitzers, snowcats, hotels and air service to continue improving the guest experience in Telluride.”
