The Copper Superpipe opened today as the first halfpipe in the United States and during a non-Olympic year it might have gone unnoticed but with the Olympics around the corner it was a very busy superpipe training day.
Tom and I headed over to Copper to enjoy an easy day on the slopes and get some [...]

Copper Mountain had opened up on Friday and since I’m a season passholder it made perfect sense to spend Sunday at Copper. I carpooled with Lauren to Copper and met up with Chris from Snowboarderguide to shred for the day before I carpooled back with him to Steamboat.

When I received the invitation to join Dragon Optics at Woodward at Copper during their camp session, I knew I couldn’t turn down such a fun opportunity to check out the camp and the team.   A huge thanks to Alex Pashley for inviting me and letting me have a great first time at Woodward. [...]

Yesterday was a mess in Colorado with the snowstorm that came through.  Between Denver and Summit County, I witnessed a rollover accident 10 feet in front of me, drove in the worst conditions I’ve seen and managed to make it up to the mountains before the highway closed.  With the snow falling throughout the night…today [...]

I give credit to the marketing crew at Copper (my sister resort) because they know when to make fun of themselves and make it look good.   

What exactly is National Snow Day? 

It’s that “Everyone deserves an unexpected free day to ski, snowboard, and build a snowman. Experience what the rest of the nation is talking [...]

On Monday night I had the opportunity to check out the Oakley Revolution Tour at Copper Mountain. I was really stoked to get the invite and be able to attend the event, even for just one night.

Our crew today consisted of Andrew, Jakub, Amy, Aaron, Ashley, Erika and myself.  Mix of skiers and snowboarders for the day. 

It was another great day on the snow, sun shining and with some exceptions the [...]

Amy and I drove down to ride Copper today.  It turned out to be a busy day on the slopes but a beautiful day out with demos to choose from. 
Every ride up the chair, I checked out the mound of snow soon to be Copper’s halfpipe.  Copper usually has the first halfpipe in the United [...]
