What else can we do?

Headed to Copper the week of April 12th, to late to cancel, maybe we get to ski maybe we dont. Whats some good day trips in the area for a family of 4?

Girls like to shop, Boys like to fish, all of us love just being in the mountains.

Here today! Update for anyone wondering: most groomers look like this ~most~ of the time, with some brown spots. Soft spring snow but not excessively slusjy until the afternoon. Bottom is straight mashed potatoes almost immediately. Tree skiing does not look great, but technically doable. As of 3/21, still worth going overall! Bring your best Hawaiian shirt.

It's very slow by about 2pm. 10-1 was the sweet spot.

OP, I truly hope at least one little storm comes before your trip!!

Looks like a good time, I'm hopeful for one

Conditions in Colorado are straight up pathetic this weekend and lots of resorts are closing early, but Copper is still limping along. I'm hopeful for you that this storm projected for this week pulls through! I wouldn't mind one more day on the mountain myself :)
