      Ski Cooper 2021-2022 Trail MapBlack Diamonds at Cooper

      Cooper opened the new Tennessee Creek Basin in early 2020, with 17 new double black runs, 4 new black diamond runs, and a new lift!

      The advanced terrain adds a fresh dimension to Cooper’s family-friendly vibe. Now, you can bring all your family and friends to Cooper, whether they’re expert or newbie skiers or boarders. With a total 64 trails, five lifts, and terrain variety to choose from, groups of all ability levels will find something to love at Cooper. Check the trail map and start planning your ski days!

      Please note: Before entering Tennessee Creek Basin, please make sure you are ready to descend Double Black Diamond terrain. If you have questions in your mind about your ability to handle this terrain, DON’T GO – work on your skiing first.

      Save on Day Passes

      Even with this exciting expansion, Cooper is still one of the least crowded and most affordable resorts in Colorado. If you ski a lot, buy a season pass and get great on that new black diamond terrain!

      At Cooper, all season passes, day passes, and rentals will be loaded onto the Cooper Card (RFID). Please go online before your visit to create your profile, upload your photo, and sign any waivers. Once you get your card, you will never stand in the ticket line again – just proceed directly to the lift with your loaded card.
