ktv Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 I'll be staying in Frisco and will be going to Copper and A-Basin on an Ikon pass the week of January 23. I've never been to either. Is one better on weekends? It looks like from the trail map it'd be Copper, because it looks like the layout spreads people out more? Which is better for carving trails? For both, is there an area to put on boots then stow the bootbag free? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For both, is there an area to put on boots then stow the bootbag free? Copper is the best out of all IKON resorts for carving. Personally, it is the best of all the resorts in summit (some may beg to differ but IMHO it is.). There are so many runs that is suited.@b.freecan chime in here. Abasin grooming hasn’t been the best last year. I only been there 2x early season as I always go to Copper. Abasin is limited on the good carving runs. i go there on Tuesday and Sunday, it would nice to ride with you. There are other like @b.freewho rides at Copper as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktv Posted January 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 Thanks Yamifumi. Sounds like maybe I'll try A-Basin once during the week, but stick to Copper. Yes, I'd love to ride with you and other locals before the AFC in Aspen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kneel Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 I just returned from my second week at Copper. Yep. The local guys have it. We put in prolly 7k per day alone lapping Copperopolis in the mornings. Collage, Andy's Encore, even the right side of Main Vein which everyone seems to ignore. You always seem to bump into friendly fruitbooters there as well. Light crowds during the week too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd Job Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 Copper on non-holiday weekdays. A-Basin for weekends/holidays. Edge towards Copper on weekends if no new snow has fallen (any snow, even half an inch, will draw out the powtards from hiding). From Copper, you will face I-70 penalties back home to Frisco on Sundays if you leave late. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big mario Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 3038858480 try to get there by 7:30 before the lot starts filling up. You will be riding with the older, grayer crew, which will be a good warmup before you hook up with Yasu and The Odd One. See you next sunday!

ktv Posted January 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 Thank you guys! Dumb question since I'm not from the area - what's the 4 pak versus buddy pass? I assume the buddy pass is a discount ticket or freebie for someone buying a season pass? What's the 4 pak? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big mario Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) Deeply discounted 4 pak of lift tickets that you can only get before the season really cranks up, good at any time, no black out days Edited January 18, 2022 by big mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b.free Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) Out of all, Copper is the best mountain for carving in the summit county. Without a doubt you can find the best carving snow best suited for your abilities. Will be there this and next Sunday.
