Keystone Lake Ice Skating

The largest outdoor Zamboni-maintained ice rink in the U.S – at Keystone Lake

Keystone is the largest ski resort in Summit County, and one of the most popular ski vacation resorts in the United States. Its vast size and variety of terrain make it a great fit for families and groups of varying ability levels. Keystone consists of three mountains: Dercum Mountain, North Peak and the Outback, as well as five Bowls (Independence, Ericsson, Bergman, North and South Bowls) for exceptional skiing at every level.

The three mountains are connected by a series of ski lifts and gondolas. Keystone vacation lodging options are plentiful, and are spread out between the two base areas. River Run is the larger, more modern base, while Mountain House, the original base area, is quieter and smaller. Keystone is the only resort in the region that offers night skiing.

Local's Tip Tuesdays: Snacking on the Mountain

Are you ever looking for a quick snack on the mountain? Want something to hold you over before you swing by the lodge for lunch? Forget to snag a granola bar on your way out of the house? It’s okay, grab a Nature Valley bar from the ticket office!

 

All Vail Resorts mountains have complementary Nature Valley bars on the mountain or at ticket offices/windows. So next time you visit a Vail Resort be sure to grab some Nature Valley bars for a quick and easy snack on the chair lift!

Beaver Creek

At Beaver Creek, employees can often be spotted at the base of the mountain handing out Nature Valley bars. If you don’t see anyone handing them out, visit the nearest ticket office/window. *At 3 PM everyday at the Centennial Chair #6 fresh, hot cookies are handed out—a great way to end the day!

Breckenridge

Breckenridge has Nature Valley bars at the Peak 7 and Peak 8 ticket offices, and sometimes they are offered by chair lifts on the mountain.
