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.
