The ski resort hopes to add 500 acres on Jaquez Peak and Rose Mountain.
—
Copper Mountain Report is looking to build the highest lift in North America while adding 500 acres to their ski area on the eastern face of Jaques Peak as well as the east and north faces of Rose Mountain.
In plans submitted to the U.S. Forrest Service, the proposed new lift, currently named Jaques East, would spirit skiers and boarders for more than a mile up the peak, ending at above 13,100 feet in elevation. That’s several hundred feet higher than North America’s current highest lift at Breckenridge.
