Copper Mountain - Sierra Lift

Sierra is a three-person fixed-grip chairlift located at Copper Mountain. The chairlift runs from just below the Flyer's Lodge and the summit of the American Flyer chairlift up to just below the summit of Union Peak. The chairlift primarily serves a pod of mostly high-alpine advanced terrain off of Union Peak. From the top of the chairlift, skiers and riders may access all of the resort's three base villages as well as the Celebrity Ridge surface lift for access to additional advanced and expert terrain. The chairlift was manufactured by Yan and installed at the resort in 1983.

Copper Mountain is a ski resort located near Frisco, Colorado. The ski resort is located in the White River National Forest in Western Summit County. The resort is located directly off Interstate 70 and is about a 1.5-hour drive west of Denver, a 2.5-hour drive northwest of Colorado Springs, a 2.5-hour drive southwest of Fort Collins, a 10-minute drive south of Frisco, and a 25-minute drive southeast of Vail. The resort features three base areas: the East, Center, and West Villages each with a variety of lodging options, shopping, and dining. The frontside of the resort features a variety of terrain for all ability levels, with the mountain generally becoming more difficult as you move from west to east. Copper Mountain also features a couple of side areas on its eastern boundary, Alpine and Resolution, which cater to more advanced guests. Additionally, the ski resort also features some high-alpine terrain both on the frontside, which features a rare beginner high-alpine area off the Rendezvous chairlift, and on the backside.
