MINI Copper

MINI Coopers pack a big punch — they've been named both rally racing championships and European Car of the Century — and they contain ten million possibilities for "Ultimate Youification," which probably explains some of the fascination with these bulldog-looking cars. Whether you already own one or you're just a little MINI-curious, come to Copper Mountain today at 1 p.m. for MINIs in the Mountains.

Like the cars themselves, this four-day event is packed with variety. An abbreviated list of events includes a microbrew tasting, a Saturday night street party featuring blues/alternative rock band the Motet and vendor tech talks. Also, twelve scenic rides are mapped out with times and distances. "Besides all the town has to offer, this is just an incredible place for people to come and tour around in their cars," says Copper's Lauren Pelletreau.
