Colorado Spring Break 2014: Copper Mountain

Believe it or not, Spring Break is right around the corner! And why go anywhere when the world comes to destinations like Copper Mountain? Mile High Mamas is pleased to team up with popchips, an official partner of Copper Mountain, to give your family the chance to “pop to the top” and win their Secret Passes. Think: Disneyland’s fast passes where you are able to skip the lift lines. Only this is one of Colorado’s Happiest Place on Snow! Spring Break is a fantastic time to road-trip to the mountains but the drive can sometimes be tedious (think: I-70 traffic snares). Sure, you could stuff the kids with sugar but watch out for when they crash and you’re still in the car. popchips are a family of delicious potato, tortilla, popcorn, and veggie chips popped crisp...

Woodward at Copper: This Mom’s Ascent (or Descent?) Into Extreme Sports

I live a pretty adventurous life. Last week I went to Costco and tried the spicy jalapeno dip.

Although they didn’t go to camp together, they both went to the same freestyle skiing camp: Woodward at Copper. Woodward at Copper is a relatively new, year-round addition to the winter sports offerings at Copper Mountain, Colorado. Opened in 2009, the centerpiece of Woodward at Copper is The Barn, a 19,400 square foot indoor terrain park and training facility. Woodward at Copper provides training in freestyle (park and pipe) skiing and snowboarding for athletes of all levels, from beginner to pro. And while you may be wondering why you should care about summer camp when there is still a lot of snow on the ground, experienced moms will tell you that now is the time to sign...
