Situated at 11,000 feet at the top of the American Eagle lift, Copper Mountain�s Aerie will feature cafeteria style dining, a formal restaurant, a caf� and two bars, all with commanding views of the Colorado Rockies. The design for this facility was conceived in conjunction with the resort�s new American Eagle lift with the goal of creating a seamless, year-round, and one-of-a-kind mountain resort experience. The building site has views in three directions, south facing and up slope, across the ski terrain and downslope to the valley below. The upper-level bar opens to a south facing patio, transitioning from indoors to out and reinforcing the feeling of being on top of the world.
