Buffalo Lodge courtyard is getting a face lift this spring.  The Keystone crews were hard at work getting the place to look brand new.  This time of year River Run Village gets a little pampering after a long hard winter of use and abuse.  The Courtyard at Buffalo Lodge was completely pressure washed and we were amazed at how much mud actually came up out of the ground.  The crew had a wheel barrel almost full!  It is a sign of things to come in Keystone this spring, with the weather promising a mixture of all 4 seasons for the next month we know that River Run will be looking good for the fun summer events right around the corner!

What will the pass holder appreciation day mean for you?  If you are a pass holder you can come to the Mountain House Base Area to celebrate with a Free Lunch, thats right Keystone Resort, home of the $12 Epic Burger, will be doing a free lunch for all season pass holders at the Mountain House Base area at Keystone Resort, but you have to be there between 11AM and – Noon to receive your free lunch.

Can’t make it by 11am on Friday?  Don’t worry you can enjoy some drink specials, appetizer specials and a really good time over in River Run Village at the Parrot Eyes bar and grill.  The Parrot Eyes is located in River Run Village with in walking distance to the gondola at the Silver Mill building, pretty much in the middle of the village at Keystone.

If you have a season pass to Keystone and have not really taken advantage of it then this is a perfect way to add a day and add a sweet bonus to your season pass, free lunch and drink specials come on pack your stuff and head up to Keystone, why not spend Thursday Night in one of our condos, and then hit first chair Friday Morning, enjoy some of the latest powder runs and then drop down into Mountain House for FREE LUNCH…..  Hit the slopes again and then end the day at Parrot Eyes for margaritas?  We will see you there!

Call our vacation planners today to make  a weekend of it Spend Thursday night and Friday night with SummitCove and ride or ski Keystone on Friday and then ride or Ski Vail on Saturday, you can get two free lunches out of it?  Really that is a great Keystone Deal! Match that with discounted lodging specials for season pass holders and you will really have a great reason to head up to Keystone this weekend!

If you can not make it up on Friday for the pass holder appreciation day, you can still take part of the appreciation day but not at Keystone, you will need to drive over to Vail Resort to catch the 11am free lunch at Mid Vail or enjoy drink and appetizer specials at the Arrebelle.

Yes it is Super Bowl Sunday and the ski slopes are jam packed with people who are getting off of the mountain and wondering where is the best place to watch the Super Bowl when they are in Keystone Colorado?  The answer is simple, anywhere in Keystone is a great place to be!   Just kidding you have a couple of options, if you rented one of our amazing private homes you can enjoy the place from the comfort of your couch, but if you are looking to head out and about.  I would consider heading over to the Haywood Cafe, the only sports bar in Keystone Resort with good food, good drinks and tons of TV’s.  If that is not your cup of tea, you can enjoy the game at a number of other places, but they Haywood will have the most TV’s.  Next on my list would be to swing by the Snake River Saloon and catch the game there.  The Snake River Saloon has a couple of TV’s in the bar, good appetizer and bar menu as well as a good environment.  If you want an upscale fancy shmnacy place to enjoy the game and a nice steak head over to the Wolf Rock restaurant in River Run Village, The Wolf Rock is River Run’s best restaraunt by far and a great place to enjoy the game in a quieter more civilized fashion!

Enjoy the game, remember to drink responsibly and add a glass of water if you are new to elevation between drinks to keep the headache to a gentle roar tomorrow morning!

The Pavilions at Keystone is a new development project in River Run Village which will focus on family-friendly entertainment. Encompassing everything from concerts and theatre performances to films and more, the Pavilions at Keystone will be a great way to enjoy Keystone after skiing. The pavilions at Keystone are also available for private functions (such as weddings, corporate events, or family reunions). The PAK (Pavilions at Keystone) will be a year-round structure and provide Keystone with the opportunity to offer year-round opportunities for the arts and culture. The greater Keystone area has a few other theatres and venues, but not in the heart of River Run Village. The PAK project has been in development for many years and the Keystone Neighbourhood Company has finally found a way to make it work.

The Keystone Neighbourhood Company has been hoping to build a large, permanent venue for art performances available all year, but the price of a new building was out of their reach. Currently, the KNC (Keystone Neighbourhood Company) operates a large tent. However, the tent is only available in the summer, as it cannot combat the cold winter. The compromise is to build a semi-permanent ‘sprung structure’ that is operable year-round and deflects the cold. The new technology is quite amazing. The new year-round tent will feature environmentally friendly PVC walls surrounding a thick layer of insulation. This allows the structure to be thick enough to keep out the cold and light enough to be taken down and reconstructed if need be. The facility will also feature in-floor radiant heating, a ‘state-of-the-art’ bar and removable stages; making it a truly multi-purpose facility for any need. The KNC is expecting this structure to work for approximately fourteen years, while they wait to raise funds for a permanent building.

The PAK will be adjacent to the Quaking Aspen Amphitheatre. The Quaking Aspen Amphitheatre is a permanent outdoor facility which mainly hosts children’s theatre, but also holds weddings and sometimes concerts. However, the Quaking Aspen Amphitheatre has limited electrical and lighting capabilities and this is why the Pavilions will be welcomed by the locals and vacationers alike. The year-round facility will help increase the activity in the River Run Village area and also in Keystone. There is some other nearby theatres, in Breckenridge and in Dillon, but for those wanting to stay exclusively in Keystone the Pavilions in Keystone is the way to go!

The Pavilions at Keystone has been operating since 2002, offering art camps and summer performances to all. The new project is slated for completion in July 2010 and will be a welcome addition to the River Run Village area’s energy and fun. Events are being offered in Keystone and are available for you to research or sign-up. I am personally excited for the Music in the Mountains Concert Series on Sundays and (for families) the Children’s Theatre Production of Rapunzel: A Family Rock Musical. Other events include the Annual Blues Festival and Art Show, Dancin’ in the Rockies and many other family friendly and fun events. For adults, there is a Bluegrass and Beer Festival and Smokey Joe’s Café. All in all, the summer season has some exciting events for the new Pavilions at Keystone facility and the winter season is sure to promise even more enticing performances.
