Run list for copper?

I'm headed to copper mountain next week and am curious if anyone has any recommendations on what runs I should hit. We usually start on the green side of the resort and try to explore/work our way around the mountain. We end up spending a majority of our time in the blues and do a few black diamonds. We mostly like runs where you can get some speed, maybe has a few jumps you can hit, some trees you can go through, none of us really like moguls.

Are there any green runs we should be sure to try or should we just get over to the blues as fast as possible?

If we want to try a bowl, which one should we start with, and if we like that what other ones should we try? None of us have snowboarded/skied in lots of powder. We were at snowshoe last year right after they got over a foot of snow in Feb. I don't know how similar that will be to Copper.

Should I set my bindings farther back on my board (Rossi Templar Magtek 2013)? Right now they are in the middle.

In the terrain park, are there any medium sized jumps with a small knuckle (like 5ft long or so)?

Thanks!

Sierra is a good all around lift for trees and steeps. There's some moguls at the top but nothing too bad. You can lap that on a powder day and have a good time.

For bowls, hit Rendezvous then traverse to the back bowls. Mountain Chief is a nice lift and you can access all sorts of terrain by picking your own line through the trees.

If you just want to cruise, there's some easy going greens off American Flyer. Have fun!
