Two significant lift replacements and snowmaking improvements at three resorts highlight what’s new in Colorado skiing for 2024-25. Copper Mountain has replaced the conventional four-person Timberline lift, which served beginner and intermediate terrain at the west end of the resort, with a six-person high-speed lift. At Snowmass, the four-person Coney Glade chair has been replaced by a high-speed quad cleverly called the Coney Express. Copper’s new high-speed six-person Timberline Express is part of the resort’s multiyear expansion transforming what it calls the Western Territory, which primarily serves families, beginners and intermediates.
