Copper Mountain Colorado Vintage Ski PatchThe resort opened in late 1972 and was owned and operated by Intrawest until December 2009, when operations were sold to Powder Corporation. Copper Mountain hosted the World Cup tour in 1976 with four alpine ski races: slalom and giant slalom for both men and women. Copper was a late-season replacement for Heavenly Valley in California, which was low on snow. Rosi Mittermaier of West Germany won both women's races and wrapped up the 1976 overall and slalom titles. Copper named "Rosi's Run" after her that weekend. In February, 2009, Woodward Camp opened a 20,000-square-foot (1,900 square-meter) indoor ski and snowboard training facility dedicated to terrain park and pipe progression. The resort recently became an official U.S. Ski Team downhill training venue, beginning with the 2011-2012 season. Iron on or sew this vintage badge on your jacket, backpack or a hat. Or give as a gift to any Colorado skier. 4 1/4 x 2 inches
