Altitude Awareness

It is not unusual for some visitors to Copper Mountain to experience mild to moderate symptoms of altitude sickness which can include headache, nausea, unusual tiredness, and trouble sleeping. Most of these symptoms will subside in a day or two on their own but there are a few simple steps you can take to head-off or reduce the effects of the high altitude on your body:
• Eat more foods which are high in carbohydrates
• Drink more water
• Take in less salt
• Your doctor may be able to prescribe medication this will assist in lessening symptoms (prior to your travel)

Attendees who have experienced moderate to severe symptoms in the past or fear that they may suffer symptoms due to an existing medical condition may wish to consider making arrangements for oxygen prior to their visit.

They are able to fill a prescription from the visitor’s own physician or provide them with a phone consultation with their doctor. In many cases, nightly use of oxygen while sleeping will be sufficient to eliminate most, if not all symptoms. Often, insurance companies will cover the use of oxygen, Alpine can answer your insurance questions.
