This was one of the most unique and fun experiences ever. You either hike, snow shoe or Nordic ski up a gorgeous path to then eat a delicious gourmet meal. Its not easy to snag a reservation, but worth all the effort.

My family came to Ski Cooper for a fun day but I can't say it ended that great. After being on the mountain we were told there was a cookhouse we could go and eat after we were done. We heard great things so we decided to check it out. I was disappointed to say the least. Rude staff towards my kids, expensive food and they were all over the place restocking shelves while the customers were trying to sit down and rest.

This is such a neat experience located right next to Ski Cooper. We stopped in the pick up some drinks after a long day of downhill skiing and were blown away by how cool it was inside.

This building is the hub for food, drinks, and relaxing but you can also book nordic skiing, snowshoeing, hike, or rent bikes in the summer all out of this location. You can even rent yurts from here as well. In any event, If your looking for a no frills authentic outdoor Colorado experience, this is your spot!

If you fat bike and like steep, lung-busting terrain at high altitude, you must ride here. So much fun! Great for winter training for road, gravel, and mountain biking. Expect to spend a lot of time in VO2 max and threshold. Besides great riding, the trail/grooming is frequent, views are stellar, the owners/staff are awesome. Glad to have a season pass. Thanks for offering a fantastic place to train all winter!
Also, as a novice classic xc skier, I really appreciate the tracks that are in great shape 95% of the time (sometimes the wind on Fish Flats has other plans). Can't wait to learn to skate ski so I can take full advantage of everything they have to offer.

We had our wedding at the Nordic Center, and then had guests who wanted stay at the Yurts and have brunch at the Cookhouse the next morning. What an amazing experience. The staff are so friendly and accommodating, the food was amazing, and views/experience was perfect. Could not ask for anything better. Thank you Mariah, Alec, and the staff for making our wedding so special.
