Colorado's Most Affordable Family Ski Resort

Ski Cooper has long been a favorite hotspot for back country adventurers and deep powder skiing.  It's also the most affordable ski resort in Colorado - ask anyone.  Our affordable lift tickets offer the ability for anyone to at least try out skiing or snowboarding on our fluffy powdered slopes.  With easy skiing conditions, friendly, highly qualified ski school and ski patrol staff, and customer service our top priority, you can "come home" to Ski Cooper any time.

With 4,800 skiable acres and a minimum altitude of 10,500 feet, you can get high, get deep and get after it!  Ski Cooper is perfect for"never-evers" and children to expert, extreme back country skiers.  2,400 acres of wide runs with no crowds and an incredible grooming crew make our mile-long runs perfect for people of all ages and abilities. Snowcat skiing tours allow experts to go where most people don't even dream about skiing - on the infamous Chicago Ridge, where steeps and deeps are pristine and untracked.

Check out our affordable lift tickets and group packages, as well as ski and snowboard lessons for adults, children, snowboarding, telemark skiers and women's only clinics.  Our outstanding childcare staff and facilities for children ages 3-7 years allow your whole family to be at the mountain together.

Located within minutes of historic Leadville, Colorado on Highway 6&24, Ski Cooper is only two short hours from Colorado Springs and less than an hour from Summit County and Eagle County, where mega-resorts Breckenridge, Keystone, Vail and Beaver Creek are located.

Why Ski Cooper?  No crowds, free parking steeps, affordable lift tickets, deeps, groomed runs, powder, friendly staff and atmosphere, low-key days, hanging out at the lodge, second-to-none views of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, and more make for the most affordable Colorado family ski vacation. Less IS more.
