Are those wait times on weekdays or weekends?
Fake news!
Copper is way behind in snowfall this season, per the Summit Daily:

Yes, it's behind in snowfall, but......
(For example, this morning there was only about 1.5" of fresh, where other areas got more, again.)
Now the "but": On the groomers, as I posted earlier, because of the huge amount of snowmaking Copper did starting way back when for the international racer programs, coverage on all those groomers is much better than the other areas I go to. Not close.
Almost endless groomers, by comparison, all with very good coverage. 2K vertical. Even Ptarmigan has good coverage, especially relatively.
Top FIS/WC racers will not pay for coverage with rocks, not any where they ski. They have often come to test out large numbers of skis for their WC season. If those skis get even slightly nicked, at that level, that defeats the purpose: they will not come back. So Copper has to match that need.
And they have. (Very glad I have FIS/WC race skis, mostly from ScotSkier, at great prices.)
Copper may be like Breck, with shorter lines midweek now, not sure except for today.
Today, Tuesday, was fairly cold to start with, but I didn't wait in any lines.
(I leave if there are lines, usually around 11 or so, so far.)
Today I just left when I felt like it (old guy), for almost the first time.
Flyer had the longest, looking over in that direction at 11: probably still less than 2 to 3 minutes - short.
