Sorry for the late reply on my own thread. It's confirmed by many sources including Copper themselves. It's not happening. Super bad move on their behalf imho. However theres nothing I, nor anyone can do about it.
Looks like MT. Hood is the best option for anyone who's seeking another year round season for cheap. If anyone has advice of where I should be looking for housing and of course a job, I'd greatly appreciate it. Willing to do pretty much anything to make at least enough to survive while there. For whatever reason, its really hard to get relevant Google results for that area. I keep getting outdated or irrelevant results.
Sorry for being the bringer of bad news, but it's better to know that it's not happening now, rather than later. I also feel like Copper hasn't announced it because they want people to still buy their all access pass, despite it not including summer skiing anymore. Their even charging $50 more for only 2/3 the pass they offered last year.
Thank you all in advance for any advice regarding Hood and good luck to everyone else who has to start making moves to keep skiing.
