3 Weeks 'Til Opening Day at Keystone Resort for 2018 / 2019 Ski Season

We are just 3 weeks out from opening day at Keystone Resort! Keystone opens on Friday, November 9, 2018 for the winter season.

The resort has been busy making upgrades and putting in new heated tile paver bricks throughout River Run Village, making your walk to the gondola on opening day a breeze! 2) Expanded Snowmaking Systems Keystone has invested in improved snowmaking systems that include a new pipe on the intermediate trail, Paymaster and upgrading other components to make things more efficient and provide more coverage, all to enhance early season terrain! 3) Kidtopia - Extended! Kidtopia events are now scheduled daily, all season long from open to close! Enjoy the mostly free, kid-friendly and family fun with daily Kidtopia events at Keystone!   If you are considering buying a season pass for the 2018 / 2019 ski season, purchase yours soon because Epic Passes, Summit Value Passes, the Keystone / ABasin pass, or any season passes with Keystone will only be on sale until mid-November.   Opening Day at Keystone Resort is always a ton of fun! In addition to getting first tracks of the season, you can look forward to tons of giveaways, free coffee, hot chocolate and doughnuts and enjoy music from a live DJ! SummitCove Lodging is running an opening weekend lodging sale, where guests can take 20% off stays from November 8 - 12, 2018! The mountain has received close to 2 feet of natural snow so far and snowmaking efforts will add to the natural base.  These are the best early season conditions we've seen in awhile and we hope this is a good sign of the winter ahead!
