Skiing
Dercum Mountain is home to almost a third of Keystone's beginner terrain, which is easily accessible from the front side of the mountain (also home to expanded terrain parks and pipes). On the backside, discover 70 acres of steep-tree skiing and snowboarding in The Windows.
Keystone's second mountain, North Peak, is enjoyed by skiers and snowboarders of different skill levels, and for good reason. More than half of North Peak is rated difficult to advanced, with plenty of bumps and steeps to keep snow-lovers alert. The Alpenglow Stube and Timber Ridge Food Court at the Outpost are perched at 11,444 feet.
The Outback, Keystone's third mountain, offers intermediate terrain more than 800 acres of gladed terrain and bowls to expert skiers and snowboarders. The Outback is located about six miles away from the base areas. A short hike from the Outback Express lift brings skiers and snowboarders to the steep, wide-open bowls of South Bowl or the chutes and powder stashes of North Bowl.
Night skiing is available most nights until 8 p.m. and is included with your normal Keystone lift ticket. Special rates are also available for later arrivals. At night, 15 trails are open, including a lighted half-pipe and terrain park, making Keystone the best night-skiing mountain in Colorado.
