We arrived on Thursday around dinner time and left Monday morning. That gave me Friday and Monday to prepare for the rides on the weekend and to also have some fun. The rest of the family had their own fun and rest while I was riding on the weekend.
My Dad and I went for a quick exploratory ride and were treated to an amazing sunset. In the village there was an American Ninja Warrior like obstacle course which the kids ran through a handful of times. On Monday Jonathan finally was able to scale the final ramp wall and grab on to the top and pull himself up. It took him dozens of attempts, and he eventually got it with a little ingenuity from Dad on how to best get the slippery dust off of the bottom of his shoes.
We all had a lot of fun riding the bumper boats and ended up getting into a water fight together and with the other kids on the pond. Jonathan is never afraid to mix it up. The kids had their faces painted a couple of times by an amazing artist that was doing it for free on behalf of Children's Hospital. At night there were fun options like s'mores around the fire.
Stacey and I really liked Copper. It is smaller and less touristy (i.e. busy) then nearby Breckenridge and Vail, but literally just down the road from both. We'd definitely go back again for a weekend away or family "playcation".
