      You like old school? You'll like Copper.

      Most of the trails follow the same path as water - straight down the fall line. The trails are a mix of Tech DH and Freeride: steeps, root and rock garden, with the odd bit of flow and lots of hand-built and natural rock structures peppered throughout. Use caution on any and all structures (look before you leap. Maybe look twice or three times before you leap).

      Aside from Packhorse, Lick Bike, Lucky Seven and the Thornhill Hiking Trail, the trails on Copper are all unsanctioned. Some of the trails have regular off the grid maintainers, some haven't seen maintenance for several years. Use at your own risk.
      Primary Trail Type: All-Mountain & Downhill
