Intrawest's Playgrounds

Where the Skiers Ski and the Boarders Ride.

It's clear why Copper is the #1 choice of so many Colorado skiers and riders. Naturally divided for all abilities, it offers steep terrain to the east, gentle slopes to the west, intermediate terrain through the middle and some of the best bowl skiing in the state. Three recently completed base villages have quickly redefined the Copper experience. A new kids-only base lodge — The Schoolhouse — has transformed the Union Creek base area, as have Copper Springs Lodge and the Copper Station base lodge in the East Village. And, completed last season, The New Village at Copper is alive and well, offering a Copper experience like never before. Five new buildings possessing a variety of lodging opportunities, restaurants, bars and shops now sit at the base of the mountain.

Intrawest Golf is a division of Intrawest Corporation. Intrawest ventured into the golf arena because it saw golf as a natural complement to its mountain properties. Golf expands mountain resorts from cold-weather destinations to year-round playgrounds. The expansion began in 1998 with the acquisition of the two well-known Raven Golf Clubs in Arizona. These courses were consistently awarded for their superior layouts and, more importantly, their superior guest service. Since that time, Intrawest Golf has continued its expansion, purchasing the Sandestin Golf and Beach resort and opening three additional Raven Golf Clubs. At present, Intrawest Golf owns and/or manages more than 20 golf courses across the United States and Canada.
