SUMMER STILL SHREDS AT COPPER
It's mid-July and the rest of Colorado is in flip-flops. Up at Copper Mountain, the groomed snowboard park is still running on real glacier-fed snow — and it's pulling in some of the sport's most watchable riders before winter even starts.

Real Snow, Middle Of July
Copper keeps a groomed terrain park running on glacier-fed snow all summer, right alongside the Woodward Barn's trampolines, foam pits, and skate features for the hours it's too hot to be outside. It's become one of the most reliable off-season training grounds in snowboarding — camper groms and full-blown pros sharing the same jump line.

A groomed, real-snow park built into Copper's summer terrain, right next to Woodward's indoor training facility — the closest thing snowboarding has to a year-round base camp. Campers and pros share the same jump lines by day and the same barn by night.
