At Keystone, even 'no snow' means
plenty of skiing. Keystone starts making snow in September.
'Snow flurries in the central Rockies' typically means at least
an inch or two of fresh powder on top of a solid base. By May, Keystone
will have received an average of 230" of snow.
From Tenderfoot Lodge it's literally easier to walk to the lifts
than move your car. A pedestrians-only walkway and bridge
across the Snake River facilitate a 200 yard walk that is away from any
vehicular traffic. bottom of Keystone Mtn

| Your 19-year-old says Keystone Mountain's 'diamonds' aren't tough
enough? Take the shuttle (free) 5 miles to Arapahoe Basin (same lift
ticket). A-Basin has been a magnet for expert skiers for forty
years. And A-Basin has the longest skiing season in Colorado.
A-Basin has no lodging facilities of its own, so Keystone is your closest
overnight.
The Keystone complex of 4 mountains offers excellent skiing at all levels of difficulty. And every family member can determine their level by trying them all! The slopes at Keystone, Breckenridge and A-Basin are operated by the same people who operate Vail. The lift tickets are valid for all three Summit Co. locales. |
