Copper Mountain - Blackjack Lift

Blackjack is a two-person fixed-grip chairlift located at Copper Mountain. The chairlift runs from the bottom of the backside of the resort, near the bottom of the Three Bears chairlift, up to the top of the mountain ridge in between the summits of Copper Mountain and Union Peak, near the top of the Rendezvous chairlift. The lift primarily serves the Copper Bowl area of the resort, located on the backside of the mountain and primarily consists of advanced and expert terrain. The chairlift was manufactured by Yan and installed at its current location in 1995. The chairlift was originally installed on the frontside of the resort in 1977 as the J Lift, near where the current Timberline Express chairlift is located.
