CAT SKIING

In 2022, Cooper offered a new, more affordable way to go cat skiing! Advanced skiers and snowboarders could buy two runs as an add-on to their season pass or day pass. Cat skiing has ended for the 2021-2022 season. Please check back in 2022-23 to enjoy the thrill and adventure of cat skiing and the breathtaking views on Chicago Ridge.

RUNS FOR ALL ABILITY LEVELS

Choose from 62 runs at Cooper, with something for every ability level. While Cooper is known as a family resort, the Tennessee Creek Basin includes 16 double-black diamonds and three black diamonds. Whatever you choose, you’ll be surrounded by majestic beauty all day long.
