Several bowls are accessed from the top of the mountain; Copper Bowl provides wide open skiing, Resolution bowl has bumps and Spaulding bowl is known for its steeps. Copper is also a year round resort with go carts and mountain biking in the summer, together with many music events and bicycle races.
