Overview
Keystone is located in the White River National Forest just an hour from Denver. Keystone offers more than 3,000 vertical feet and over 3,000 acres of bowls, bumps, glades, steeps spread over three mountains:
- Dercum Mountain: Peaks at 11,640 feet and offers skiers and riders a variety of green beginner runs and blue intermediate runs with long groomers. It is offers the A51 Terrain Park, night skiing and tubing at Adventure Point. Bergman, Erikson and Independence Bowls are best explored by guided cat skiing tours that depart from Cat Ski Central at the top of Dercum Mountain.
- North Peak: Peaks at 11,660 feet and offers skiers and riders long bump runs with a variety of blue intermediate and black expert runs. At the top lives The Outpost which is home to The Alpenglow Stube, Der Fondue Chessel and the Timber Ridge Food Court. Access scenic snowcat tours from the top of North Peak.
- The Outback: Peaks at 11,980 feet and offers skiers and riders blue intermediate and black expert runs. The Outback is home to some of the states' best tree skiing and North and South Bowls. Hike to North and South bowl or take the Outback Cat Shuttle.
Keystone has a good vertical rise (2,900ft). As a guide, skiers will typically stop several times when skiing top to bottom (most skiers would not be able to ski top to bottom without stopping). Keystone has a good range of terrain for skiers and snowboarders of all abilities. With an amazing 135 trails, make sure you get hold of a trail map before you set out.
