Cooper Spur Family Ski Area

Quaint and friendly family focused ski area. Great for beginners. More advanced skiers will hardly blink and be at the bottom but that's not who it's made for.

The people at both the resort and the ski area were fantastic, very helpful and accommodating. Brian is an awesome ski instructor, took extra time outside of my son’s lesson to take him up the ski lift for his first time- thanks for going above and beyond! We stayed at Homestead Cabin at the resort, and it was comfy, roomy, and clean. Perfect trip for my kids’ first time skiing!

We called ahead and were told that we wouldn't need to buy tickets and they never fill up, so just to come out. Spent $150 to rent ski equipment and drove an hour and a half here only to be turned away when we arrived by a rude parking lot attendant saying the lot was full and we were too late. Of course all of the other ski areas are totally booked because they allow advance lift ticket reservations. This was obviously really disappointing, but made worse by how dismissive the staff were. Definitely go somewhere that allows you to buy your tickets in advance and don't trust them when you call because they will mislead you. We won't make this mistake again.

If they have snow this is a fantastic place for a family with young skiers and snowboarders. We got a family pass last winter and our 5 and 9 year old had a fantastic time. There is 1 chair lift with 6 runs (kinda) and the beginner runs were a good place to start. After a few days both kids were happy going down most runs. If you can go on a Friday I'd do it as there are less people. Also keep an eye out for the junior racers practice and race schedule. It was really packed for practice and races. Last year was a great snow year but the years before they barely opened if at all. If there is a lot of early snow I think a family pass is a good idea. If they don't have a bunch of snow by Christmas, it seems like a gamble that you can get your money's worth. All in all a great place for a family weekend in the winter.
