  1. Hi, and welcome to SkierVillage
    Come on in and make yourself at home. We’re a friendly little mountain community, full of passionate skiers, who enjoy sharing that passion with their friends. Think of us as a little mountain town you move to, where you’ll be surrounded by great neighbors who all harbor the same love of the snow that you do. Walk around the village a bit, and you’re going to find some pretty cool little shops and hideaways. Stop by the Coffee Shop, where any time of day you can drop in and just shoot the breeze with your friends. Go over to the Ski Shop and check out this year’s new gear, have all your gear related questions answered, and maybe even find a bargain in the process. At the end of a day on the slopes, The Lodge is the place to hang out, warm yourself by the fire, and chat about anything and everything skiing. When you feel the urge to travel, drop by the Travel Agency, to get the skinny on the best places to ski around the world, or around the corner. Perhaps even arrange to meet up there with some of your Skier Village neighbors. You say your technique could use a tune up? Head on over to the ski school, and talk to the local pros about it. They’re there to provide friendly advice. You can even post video of your skiing and they’ll give you a detailed personal analysis. Have a look around for yourself. We’re sure you’re going to be quite impressed with our special little mountain home, and the warmth and hospitality of the people who live here. We look forward to you moving in and becoming one of us. Best Wishes, The Town Fathers (and mothers)

    The Rocky Mountains are a mountain range that run from British Columbia in Canada down to New Mexico and Texas in the USA. They are distinct from the mountain ranges further west.

    The Continental Divide runs through the Rocky Mountains this line separating the waters that run into the Pacific or the Atlantic Oceans.

    The Rocky Mountains contain many important North American ski resorts.

    2. Resort Overview

    Keystone is one of the Summit County ski resorts in Colorado.

    Keystone stretches seven miles along the Snake River, over three mountains, 3,128 vertical feet, 3,148 acres of terrain.

    Attachment 372

    Here are the resorts statistics:
    Vertical: 3,128 ft / 953m
    Base elevation: 9,280 ft / 2,829m
    Summit elevation: 12,408 ft / 3,782m
    Number of Lifts: 20
    Average Annual Snowfall over past 34 years: 235 in / 597 cm
    Number of Trails: 135
    Longest Run: 3.5 Miles/Schoolmarm
    Skiable Area: 3,148 acres / 1274 ha
    Snowmaking: 662 acres / 268 ha
    Green: 19 percent
    Blue: 32 percent
    Black: 49 percent

    You can stay in the resort which has ample facilities, or down the road in other Summit County locations. There is no real town in Keystone which is more a self contained ski resort than a town.

    There are a couple of base areas servicing the various mountain areas.

    With a high base elevation the Summit County area has a long ski season which is relatively snow sure, as the risk of melting is low, and there is good opportunity for snow-making.

    Keystone can be easily accessed from Denver Airport. This is probably the easiest airport to use.

    Vail/Eagle Creek airport is a little closer but this airport is more likely to be closed due to poor weather.

    We're fans of Spencers over at Breckenridge/Beaver Run. It's not exactly cheap, but it's where we ate the day we got married and they have pretty good "all you can eat" prime rib for all you ...
