Copper Mountain wraps up 2026 on Thursday, December 31 with a free New Year's Eve celebration at Eagle's Landing in Center Village — a DJ set, a torchlight parade by Copper staff, and fireworks over the village.
Take one last ski or ride of the year, then gather at the base of the slopes in Center Village. Copper staff carry glowing torches down the mountain in the traditional torchlight parade, followed by fireworks lighting up the sky above Eagle's Landing.
A DJ keeps Center Village moving through the evening, making this an easy, family-friendly way to celebrate without staying up until midnight.
Copper says the detailed 2026 schedule is "coming soon," so check the resort's New Year's Eve page closer to the date for exact times of the parade and fireworks.
