The Best Ski Resorts in the US and Canada: 2025 Readers’ Choice Awards | Condé Nast Traveler

"Just 75 miles west of Denver and tucked off the highway, Copper Mountain feels like Colorado’s best-kept winter secret: over 2,500 acres naturally divided by ability, a reputation as an athlete’s mountain and a longtime hub for elite ski and snowboard training. This winter the resort will host multiple World Cup events leading into the 2026 Olympics, and Woodward Copper provides a one-of-a-kind training center with an indoor facility and terrain parks for every level; nearby lodging like the 127-room Cambria Hotel offers on-site ski storage, an après bar, and hot tubs with mountain views." - Jen Murphy
