Keystone

Pros: Postcard-pretty ski village, varied terrain, 135 trails, good lift system.
Cons: $92 lift ticket. $92 lift ticket....$92.....bend over, Boy!

Keystone is big, it is beautiful. It's also out-freakin'-rage-ously EXPEN$IVE with a $92 a day lift ticket and some of the highest prices on lodging, food, rentals, and lessons known to civilized skiing mankind (and woman and kid kind). ...

Pros: Very Nice and Dedicated Instructors, Beautiful slopes and scenery.
Cons: Sudden Blizzards

ldquo;WATCH OUT FOR THAT. . . . ~~BONK~~ . . other skier. rdquo; Ooops, too late. Well, I really did not shout that out loud for fear of starting an avalanche, but I thought it several times. Yes, this southern mom took her two monkeys to Colorado and ...

Pros: Very friendly staff, challenging terrain, good for all levels.
Cons: That darn lodge food is pricey!

I consider myself very lucky. I live in what I would classify as the best state in the Union. I can do almost every outdoor activity imaginable, and the scenery is just gorgeous beyond compare. The weather is mild and we get nearly 300 days of...

Pros: listed above
Cons: no

When I decided to go skiing for Christmas 1999, I looked for ski resorts in Colorado. Coming from France, I knew only Vail and Aspen. But these ski resorts were too expensive for lodging. That's why I looked other ski resorts. I found several ski...

Pros: Plethora of all run types, easy to reach
Cons: Lots of people, icy

Last weekend I had the chance to visit
a few notable resorts. Of all of them, Keystone
seems to have impressed me most of all. It is
located about an hour and a half from Denver
not far from I-70, making this a highly accessible...

Pros: Tree Skiing, Deep Powder Usually Found in the Black Forest
Cons: Number Three on the Most Visited Colorado Resort List

Keystone's abundant lodging facilities attract a tremendous amount of destination skiers, mostly families. Vail Associates' recent addition of Keystone and Breckenridge to the Vail/Beaver Creek fold probably helped this quite a bit. Lift tickets are...

Pros: A great family-oriented resort!
Cons: One restaurant to avoid

Of all the ski areas in Colorado that we have tried out this year, our favorite was Keystone!! Check below for reservation numbers and hints for saving big!! We stayed in the Slopeside Lodge Christmas week and again in January, and were very pleased with...

Pros: Variety of terrain, long season, night skiing
Cons: Expensive restaurants, crowded in early season

Keystone is my favorite place to ski. There's a good variety of terrain for beginners to experts, there are plenty of high-speed lifts to keep things moving, and the night skiing gives you a lot of flexibility.

There are three separate...

Pros: Great long runs, back country, night skiing
Cons: Cafeteria food is priced outrageous!

I had the fortune of going on a "business" trip this March that landed me in downtown Denver for a week. This obviously meant extending the trip a few days and heading out for some skiing! We decided on Keystone, as it was reasonably close to...

Pros: Fast lines, large resort, long runs
Cons: Crowded, parking, snow was not has good as I expected

I was visiting some friends in Denver and wanted to spend a day skiing. I chose Keystone for one main reason, it was the closest resort that had skiing after 4pm. Since we didn't leave Denver until 10am, this was a plus.

I was impressed by...

Pros: big, good lifts, lots of mountain fun
Cons: owned by vail

Overall Keystone has a verity of terrain.  Every type of skier or rider should be able to find something to enjoy at Keystone.  Keystone has manmade features like groomed trails and a ginormous terrain park.  In my epinion, the best park ...

Pros: The snow is always great, and there is terrain for all levels
Cons: The Ski School is barely understaffed and it's beginning to expand into a mini-vail.

My family an I started going to Keystone 17 years ago. We have seen the daycare, ski school, lodges, hotels, and condos. I personally know the head of the Adults ad Kids Ski Schools. We are family friends with many of the instructors. My...

Pros: Variety of difficulty, manufactured snow if needed
Cons: a bit pricey

Keystone Ski Resort is quite possibly the best resort that I have ever been to. With numerous levels of difficulty, this resort is good for all skill levels of skiers.

For those skiers who are a little more advanced, you have to try skiing...

Pros: Area's for all levels of abilities
Cons: Pricey -but what ski area isn't

Much to Keystone's dismay, it is not necessarily considered a destination resort like Vail or Breckenridge, although it is trying to change that image. Much to the local Coloradoan's dismay, more people are finding out about this ever expanding ski...
