This season, Copper Mountain poached terrain-park manager Justin George from Keystone and gave him free rein to build an ever-changing system of progressive terrain parks in partnership with the Woodward at Copper action-sports camp. The parks work their way up from kid-friendly boxes, jumps and jibs to pro-level, crap-your-snowpants booters and massive urban-inspired features like wall rides and double-kink handrails unlike anything else in Colorado, all served by the new Union Creek high-speed quad chairlift. Woodward at Copper also made it a priority to make the terrain parks more accessible to the masses this year, hosting camps for riders of all ages and ability levels throughout the season and making the most of on-mountain airbags and the facility's indoor trampolines, foam pits and Snowflex slopes to emphasize safe and incremental progression.
