While the Copper link provided below does not include x-country skiing as one of its activities, a waymarker has informed us otherwise. He lives near this resort part-time and has provided some general directions to the x-country ski trails as follows: "Most prominently the trails are out of Union Creek, either at the Vail pass trial entrance(it goes up to Spencer gulch as I remember and then south and works its way back to Cooper...or from the top of the Lumberjack lift there are trails heading west. Many others. I am surprised they don't include it because it is their groomers and packers that do the trail maintenance..and best of all..it is uncrowded." It sounds great! Dawg and her team will have to check it out and get some coordinates for the trailheads posted here some day.
