This Copper Mountain ski trip was truly a ski vacation: we traveled with a few other families, stayed at a ski-in/ski-out condo, shared our unit with one family. The American Eagle lift was right outside our windows and we could get early to the lift without getting up too early. We cooked delicious dinner at the condo every night - shrimp, beef, BBQ chicken, pork rib, salmon, ..... mostly by the two mothers Jean and Lily. Justin cooked steak for one night! Two families 8 people enjoyed dinners and shared skiing experience at the table every night.

After dinner the kids went to another condominium to meet the other part of the big group - playing cards, having outdoor hot tub, and of course playing games on cell phones. Lily and I ventured into the village one night to enjoy the Christmas lights at the center village. Our photos from the night-walk attracted more people to join us next night.

At the end of the third day all the children came to the condo for a rest and they all stayed for dinner. Lily made a slow-cooked beef stew, we quickly added a BBQ chicken wing to the menu to feed the added mouths!
The ski-in/ski-out condo was expensive to rent but it seemed worth it.
In addition to cooking, convenience, we could get to the lift quickly without stress, we could take break at lunch time in the condo, and most importantly we could ski right to the door of the building entrance at the end of the day! All happened at leisure pace - a luxury!!
