![]() ![]() The Skiing:
Skiers and boarders of all abilities (19% Green/32% Blue/49% Black) will love the variety offered in our Keystone package. You intermediate skiers will absolutely love Keystone as there are a plethora of smooth cruisers as well as nice steep groomers. If you want something special try cat-skiing in several of their alpine bowls including the Independence Bowl.
Keystone offers three unique mountains, with five bowls, and 3,148 acres of skiable terrain. Dercum Mountain is home to the largest night skiing program in Colorado, and features long green and blue runs. Novices can practice their skills and test their endurance on the 3.5 mile Schoolmarm run. Intermediates can enjoy the cruisers, or head over to North Peak for a more challenging experience on the bumps and steeps. Advanced and expert skiers will want to head to The Outback to test their skills on the wide-open bowls, and steep chutes. ![]() - easily accessible via the free ski shuttle.
