Located atop Tennessee Pass, ten miles north of Leadville on u.S.
HwY 24, Ski Cooper has in recent years earned recognition as one of the nation's most successful and innovative small ski areas. It's also one of the most affordable ski resorts around.

Ski Cooper's origin goes back to world war II, when the u.S. Army developed Cooper Hill and nearby Camp Hale as a training site for the ski troopers of the famed Tenth Mountain Division. Following the war, Cooper Hill opened to the public as a county- operated ski area.
