Get the authentic Colorado winter experience without the crowds and sky-high prices. Ski Cooper is an approachable ski resort in Leadville, Colorado, perfect for families and advanced skiers alike. Feel the love for skiing right in the heart of the Rockies, for a great price.
Soft Snow and Less Crowds
Ski Cooper prides itself on having the softest snow surface in Colorado, and terrain variety for all abilities. From some of the best beginner trails in the country to epic powder, glades, and bumps, skiers and snowboarders of all skill levels are sure to find their flow in the natural snow here. The smiling faces and family-friendly atmosphere also makes Ski Cooper an excellent place for a family winter getaway, without sacrificing the authentic Colorado resort experience. Alternatively, if you are looking to avoid busy weekend pow days, the lack of crowds and two-minute lift lines make Cooper the perfect option for a single-day weekend escape.
Passes and Tickets
Don’t have a big-name ski pass? No problem! Cooper is part of both the Powder Alliance and the Freedom Pass offering pass holders free skiing across the country & internationally. Ski Cooper has more than 50 locations that pass holders can ski 3 free days at including Loveland, Monarch & Sunlight in Colorado. If you are not ready to commit to a pass, Cooper also offers extremely affordable day-pass lift tickets.
Off the Slopes
When you’re finished shredding the slopes, there are many options to refuel on the mountain or at the base. Chow down on a burger off the grill with great views of Chicago Ridge at Ridgeview Café. Or, head to the Cooper Lodge to grab a drink from the full-service bar and an Irish specialty dish at Katie O’Rourke’s Irish Pub. For the meat-lovers, The Timberline Taproom serves Colorado craft brews with mouthwatering smoked meats like the smoked beef and brisket chili.
The resort offers fun-filled events for the whole family, like 10th Mountain Day on Friday, February 21st, 2025, celebrating Ski Cooper’s 1942 founding by the 10th Mountain Division with a special flag parade down the Molly Mayfield Trail. Don’t miss the St. Patrick’s Day celebration on Monday, March 17, and Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, April 12!
New this year, people will get the same low rate both online and at the ticket window . Adults (ages 22-74) can ski for only $45 on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays outside of holiday and spring break periods. Kids (ages 6-14) can ski for only $35 any day of the season. I have attached a press release with more information on this.
