Keystone, Colorado Keystone offers everything you could possibly desire for a memorable winter vacation. With four different mountains to choose from and two mountain villages to entertain you and your family, Keystone will keep you coming back for more.
Why did Skiing Magazine refer to Keystone as the "ultimate all-things-to-all-skiers" resort? It could be the seven month ski season (October - April), or the 11.5 hour ski day, thanks to daily night skiing. But it?s probably Keystone?s four diverse and challenging mountains, offering 2,227 skiable acres of terrain serviced by 24 lifts. Three mountains are directly accessible from the Keystone Village Base area, while the fourth, Arapahoe Basin, is a 10 minute shuttle ride up Loveland Pass.
Keystone Mountain is known for its groomed, wide trails and designated slow skiing areas, perfect for families and beginners. North Peak boasts steep mogul covered runs, and smooth cruisers that cater to the more advanced skier. The Outback features gladed tree skiing to offer the adventurous intermediate and advanced skiers powder skiing long after the main runs turn to packed powder. Arapahoe Basin is famous for the steep and deep. No frills, just some of the most exciting and challenging skiing around.
Keystone?s mountain villages complete the resort picture. Keystone Village and River Run pride themselves on offering an array of shops and restaurants to suit any taste and every budget. And guests who take advantage of Keystone?s unique resort adventures, like dining at the Ski Tip lodge or at sleigh rides at Keystone Ranch, go one step further to create lasting experiences and fond memories for years to come.

This was a complete EXPERIENCE, not merely a meal. When we parked our car at the bottom of the ski runs and boarded the gondola, our adventure began. Traveling above the pine trees and snowy terrain of Keystone, we left civilization and all cares behind. The second gondola ride summited at 11,444 feet, atop Keystone's North Peak. We had arrived at our secluded dinner locale. Our hosts greeted us with warm slippers in exchange for our snow boots. En route to our table, we were treated to a pyrotechnic show of sorts--flaming magic that the chefs gladly perform at the grill. These award-winning chefs create their culinary masterpieces in plain view; guests are encouraged to watch, if interested.
Alpenglow Stube, the highest AAA Four Diamond restaurant in North America, describes its cuisine as contemporary gourmet with a Bavarian twist. House specialties to try include the duck foie gras pate and maple-glazed elk chop. Each component of our 6-course dinner was a masterpiece to both the eye and the pallette. From the ambience, to the service, to the first and final bite, our experience at Alpenglow Stube was exceptional. Be certain to secure a reservation.
