Alpine Updates – December 3rd, 2020
Dear Team Summit Alpine Community:
With Copper Mountain resort open to the public, we have an increased responsibility to follow our COVID protocols and model exceptional compliance to mountain guests. Additionally, as the best skiers on the mountain, it is extremely important we model proper skiing etiquette, slow zone compliance, lift line behavior and respect for all mountain rules.
The resort has changed the approved drop-off and pick-up locations effective immediately.
The new drop-off and pick-up location for Center...

Dear Team Summit Alpine Community:
We remain blessed by both the snow conditions and the extraordinary support of Copper Mountain Resort to be able to provide great training opportunities to our Ability Class and Age Class teams.

The US 2020-21 Ski Race season began today with the 2020 US Women's National Championship GS at Copper. Congratulations to Team Summit's Olyvia Snyder who finished 25th in her first...
