A View of Copper Summit

The Copper Summit Web Cam image updates every fifteen minutes, and lets you see exactly what the hill looks like!

What the webcam doesn't show is the beautiful 18 hole golf course or the zip line (usually!). The tenth and final zip line does zip right across this view so you may just get lucky and see some zippers from time to time!
