SKI COOPER

To celebrate the holidays, bring the whole family to Ski Cooper! It’s known for its laid-back, family-friendly vibe and affordable prices. Don’t miss the 19 new double black diamond runs in its new Tennessee Creek Basin. Just as soon as this steep terrain fills with all-natural snow!

SKI-IN COOKHOUSE & SLEEP YURTS AT TENNESSEE PASS

Tennessee Pass is now open for the winter season! For a special holiday treat, cross-country ski or snowshoe a mile to this unique, off-grid cookhouse. Then enjoy a delicious four-course gourmet meal. You’ll feast on local ingredients, with a well-chosen wine list. Or come for lunch Saturdays and Sundays during the winter season.

For a memorable holiday getaway, book a luxury sleep yurt for the night. Stay warm and comfortable with soapstone wood stoves, down comforters, handcrafted log beds, and kitchenettes. Passes to 27 km of groomed cross-country ski and fat biking trails come with the yurt, and you can rent your equipment there.

RELAX AND STAY A WHILE!

Build a weekend around your holiday fun! In the highest-elevation city in North America, fresh snow and gingerbread-style Victorian houses put you in the holiday spirit. Affordable prices leave more in your wallet for holiday gifts.

For a peaceful escape from the holiday rush, book a stay in a B&B, hotel or motel, or vacation rental. Relax in our quiet, small town. Enjoy great dining; stellar skiing; and a full array of winter sports, from dogsledding to ice skating to sledding and ziplining, and everything in between.
