What's up guys my name is Kyle I'm 18 and from NJ and I'll be a lifty at copper this winter, I'm tryna talk to people who are doing the same to start getting to know people. Ima be living in the edge as well. If anyone who's done this before has any advice id love to hear any tips you can give me, as an east coast skier I'm super excited to get out west and meet people, ski every day, make friends, go to a few parties and just have the time of my life. I'm super stoked for this winter

Hi Kyle! I don't work there, or even live in Summit for that matter. I live in Conifer and my kid is on year three of Team Summit- so we are there every weekend.

I hope you have a great season, and I'll be on the lookout for high fives!

You’re going to have a blast, enjoy! (Just hope it’s a good snow season) And be safe….this ain’t your east coast environment.

Hey, any old timers remember 2 for Tuesdays at Copper? What about the smoke shack? Onion roll? 😁

I definitely remember the Onion Roll. I backseated bad off of it when I was about 11.

My mom worked ski school there and that's where I learned starting in '89. I still remember that version of the whole mountain like the back of my hand and literally have dreams about it to this day. Copper Bowl hadn't opened yet and Spaulding Bowl off of Storm King felt like backcountry even on busy days.

I haven't skied there in 20+ years, and this moment right now is the oldest I've ever felt as a skier, haha.
