Trip - Fall Roundup - COPPER MOUNTAIN, Colorado

There is nothing like the sheer awesomeness of the Mountain to make one
feel, well, unimportant. We assume its simply an inherent human reaction to over
12,000 feet of snow-covered granite. But, once you return to your room, youll feel
anything but unimportant. The resort is paradise, created from the ground up to deliver
everything a guest could want. More than 40 shops and restaurant. Access to one of the
finest health and fitness clubs in the Rockies. A battalion of concierges to help plan a
moonlight cross-country tour, sleigh ride or "Dining in the Woods" excursion.
"Fun" is far to small a word to use, but this mountain has skiing for very
level of skier, so its only right that Copper Mountain has instructions for
everyone: two group classes and private lessons daily, as well as the most complete early
season, race, telemark, snowboard, cross-country and advanced ski clinics and camps.
Coppers child care programs (rated as the Americas "Best" by SKI
Magazine), the Belly Button Babies and the Belly Button Bakery, take care of the little
ones, so you older kids can have fun out on the mountain. Plus, there are skiing
"camps" for the older kids supervised group classes that introduce kids
to the "Zen" of skiing (even if they have no idea who Zen is).
Copper boast 117 trails, 4 bowls and over 2,400 acres of terrain in Summit County. At
any level of expertise, Coppers definitely got your number: 25 Beginner, 30
Intermediate, 36 Advanced and 4 Expert.
And that doesnt include the ungroomed bowls or the 25km of cross-country tracks.
Anyway you look at it, it adds up to quite a spread. Bon Appetit.

Three Kings, First Time or brand new Eagle chairlifts which lift you to 82 marked ski

A little about this trip:
Les 3 Vallees is the world's largest continuous ski area offering more developed terrain
than you can find in all of Colorado and Utah combined! These are interconnected and
with a lot of hustle and desire, you can ski from one end to the other in the same day.
There are 375 miles of downhill runs, the longest being 4 miles long, and 194 lifts
to get you where you want to be. Maybe these are just a couple of reasons why the
Olympic Games were held here in 1992.
The village of Brides les Bains is only 3 blocks long,
but don't let the size fool you. This resort was the Olympic Village for the
Olympic Games in 1992. There are plenty of amenities to keep even the "hardest
to please" happy!
For the non-skiers, there will be plenty of sights to see, including a pre-trip to
Lyon, France and post-trips to Paris or Paris/London along with 5 different sightseeing
excursions during our week in Brides Les Bains.
Plan now to come ski, sightsee, party and visit France with 65 lucky Amigos!
