Los Lonely Boys will light up the stage at Copper's Sunsation in April.

Red Bull 1976 Games and College Slopestyle Championships also part of the spring fun at Copper Mountain

SUMMIT COUNTY — Copper Mountain’s Sunsation, a spring fling with music and much more, will celebrate its 10-year anniversary with Pepper, Los Lonely Boys, Perpetual Groove and some reggae from Pato Banton.

Copper Condos still has plenty of lodging available for Sunsation, including several platinum-rated units at The Cirque and a sweet, spacious Copper Junction 2-bedroom overlooking all the action the Burning Stones Plaza.

Pepper, in their first Sunsation appearance, will headline Saturday, April 10 bringing their melodic and accessible blend of alternative pop/rock, punk, and reggae to the Sunsation stage. The fun continues April 11, and then the following weekend, April 17 and April 18 with music and much more, including the Red Bull Games.

Here’s the rundown:

Check out the The Alt Games April 10 when the country’s best collegiate skiers and riders will be throwing down for the College Slopestyle Championships Saturday, April 10 in Catalyst Terrain Park. The Alt Games, going into its fifth consecutive year, is a one-of-a-kind event showcasing college action sports championships in sports like skiing, snowboarding, wakeboarding, flowboarding, kayaking, and beach volleyball. More than 500 competitors from 45 different colleges and universities nationwide are expected to compete in 2010. The Championship competitions will air on the CBS College Sports Network.

The Red Bull 1976 Games, April 16 and 17, is a tongue-in-cheek homage to 1976, when Denver and Colorado were supposed to host the Olympics but decided to pass. Competitions include Snowbladecross and Old School Air, plus, an award for most outrageous costume and team mojo.

While the ’76 Games go on, Perpetual Groove will grace the Sunsation stage. PGroove has built a reputation on intense, emotional music.  The Athens, GA-based band’s riveting live performances have catapulted them into the “must-see” category of live rock bands. With a funky blend of jazz-rock, neo-psychedelia, R&B, trance electronica, progressive rock and anthemic arena rock, the Bonnaroo veterans have conquered the festival circuit and continue to tour relentlessly. Check out a PGroove YouTube video here.

Grammy nominated Pato Banton & The Reggae Revolution will appear on Sunday, April 18, promising to spread their positive vibe and infectious sounds to the entire Sunsation crowd. Get a taste of Paton Banton’s reggae groove with this YouTube video.

Los Lonely Boys will help close out another winter season at Copper, as the final act of Sunsation 2010. Consisting of three brothers, guitarist Henry Garza, bassist JoJo Garza, and drummer Ringo Garza Jr., Los Lonely Boys continue to entertain crowds with their contagious mix of sounds. Here’s a YouTube sample from Los Lonely Boys.
