COPPER MOUNTAIN, Colo. — October 10, 2014 — Just in time for winter season, Copper Mountain complements its beginnerterrain-based teaching offerings with the launch of Ski and Ride School University. Ski and Ride U offers newbies a hassle-free way to give skiing or snowboarding a try, and provides plenty of incentive to stay with the sport.

For $199 the package includes: three ski or snowboard lessons, lift tickets, equipment rentals, close-in parking, and lunch. Upon graduation and completion of the third lesson, Copper will toss in a free season pass so guests can continue to progress for remainder of the 2014/2015 winter season.

While enrolled in Ski and Ride School U, guests will take advantage of Copper’s newly-created terrain-based teaching area located in Green Acres, a small learning area between Center and East Village. This non-intimidating area highlights entry-level man made features, such as banked turns and a mild mini-pipe, teamed with progressive teaching principles allowing beginners to explore various snow sliding sensations while the mountain and gravity do all the work.
