Make sure to check out Woodward at Copper‘s summer camps, quite possibly the raddest place on the planet, and one of the premiere trick-stomping playgrounds in the world. It features The Barn, a 19,400 sq. ft. comprehensive ski and snowboard freestyle training facility complete with indoor artificial snow jumps, jib lines, foam pits, skate features and Olympic fly-bed trampolines, offering indoor and outdoor training programs where you can learn tricks in the Barn and take them on snow the same day. Summer camps begin June 14.
New Events at Copper this Summer:
Tomato Battle, June 25
Inspired by both Spain’s La Tomatina‘s tomato-throwing festival and Oktoberfest, a ticket to Copper’s first-ever Tomato Battle will give you admission to live tunes, your first beer for free, and access to over 300,000 pounds of past-ripe roma tomatoes that were aborted just before literally getting canned.
