COPPER MOUNTAIN — The Village at Copper will hold its first “Goodbye summer, hello winter” event this weekend.
The fall festival will feature a village-wide sidewalk sale, free live music by Rojos Calientes, P-NUCKLE, and the Trevor Hall Duo, a ski swap hosted by Team Summit, movie trailers from TGR, Matchstick, Propaganda and Blacksmith, as well as the new Two Plank video world premier, an activity poker run with a chance to win a 2008-09 Copper season pass, a BMX stunt show, karaoke and season-pass sales.
New this season, Copper is offering a Woodward at Copper season-pass upgrade, as well as the traditional Rocky Mountain Super Pass, the Rocky Mountain Ultimate Pass, Copper Season passes, Transfour Cards and Four Passes. When guests purchase a Transfour card this weekend at Copper, $20 from each one purchased will benefit Team Summit.
The team ski swap is making its debut in the Copper Pavilion on Saturday and Sunday and will be a satellite location for the ski swap held in the Riverwalk Center in Breckenridge.
This ski swap is one of the largest fundraisers for Team Summit, with a percentage of the gear purchased at the swap to benefit the team. Top-name vendors will bring new equipment from previous seasons to sell at competitive prices, and, as an extra incentive to get there early, the first 20 guests in the door of the ski swap on Saturday will receive a $20 gift card, good at all participating merchants at Copper.
SOS Outreach also will be holding a snow gear drive during the ski swap, accepting soft and hard goods for at-risk youth learning how to ski and snowboard. Donations can be dropped off at the Pavilion during the ski swap or at the Conference Services Department prior to the event.
The Yellow Designs Stunt BMX show will feature X-Games and Dew Action Sports Tour athletes, performing high-flying, mind-boggling spins and twists combining individual and choreographed stunts on Saturday from 5-6 p.m. In addition, there will be BMX demos, DVD, T-shirt, poster and sticker giveaways, and a meet-and-greet session with the performers.
Rojos Calientes will perform on Friday from 6-8 p.m. on the West Lake stage. Their influences range from Peruvian and South American folksy music to bluegrass, country, Americana, rock, jam and more. P-NUCKLE, playing a free show at 6 p.m. on Saturday on the West Lake stage, has blazed a trail in the alternative scene by combining solid grooves, fat bass lines and memorable hooks with their blend of reggae, dub, ska and punk-rock styles. For 20-year-old Trevor Hal, who will perform immediately afterwards, music is a meditation, an expression of love and a means to bring people together.
Guests will have a chance to do some select activities for free on Saturday while trying to win a Copper season pass during the activity poker run. Participants will meet in Burning Stones Plaza at 2 p.m. and from there will receive detailed instructions. Basically, there are five participating activities — go-karts, the climbing wall, the bumper boats, the quad power jump and mini-golf — in which guests have to complete a challenge relevant to that activity to receive a playing card that will make up their poker hand. The faster you can get through the activities the better, because, as a bonus, the first three participants to finish all five activities get an extra card for their poker hands. The participant with the best five-card poker hand wins a 2008-09 Copper season pass.
Copper’s entire Back to School/Back to Snow event is free.
The Back to School/Back to Snow event is sponsored by: SOS Outreach, Village of Copper, Copper Chamber and Team Summit.
