This Sunday and Monday, Copper Mountain will host the Colorado Special Olympics Winter Games. The athletes will participate in alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, figure and speed skating, snowshoeing, and snowboarding.
This season is the 20th consecutive year that Copper has hosted the Winter Special Olympics, and they will continue the tradition until 2010. More than 400 athletes from around the state will compete over the two-day competition.
If you’re looking for a reason to head out to the mountain this weekend, make sure to check out the competitions in the afternoon. Don’t miss the opening ceremonies including the Copper Mountain Ski Patrol Flame Parade and fireworks.
Copper Mountain is still looking for volunteers to assist with the events. For more information on volunteering please visit www.specialolympicsco.org/get/get_involved.html
