If you’re looking for a New Year’s Eve that combines high-altitude adventure with family-friendly festivities, there is no place quite like Keystone Resort. We are just one week out from New Year's Eve, so start planning your night of celebrating! Here is your updated guide to ringing in the New Year at Keystone!
New Year’s Eve Highlights
Night Skiing, Fireworks & Torchlight Parade: The party starts in River Run Village. Gather the family to watch the Keystone Ski & Ride School instructors weave down the mountain in a glowing Torchlight Parade, followed immediately by a spectacular fireworks display that lights up the Continental Divide.
Midnight in the Tropics at Warren Station: Escape to a night of sun-soaked vibes and island beats!
Warren Station transforms into a mountain paradise featuring: Live Music: Dance the night away with the 80s tribute band, The Goonies, and a high-energy opening set by DJ Drake.
Tropical Vibes: Enjoy vibrant décor, tiki-inspired cocktails, and a commemorative midnight toast.
VIP Options: Upgrade to the VIP All-Inclusive Package for reserved table seating, a bottle of bubbly, and commemorative glassware.
Childcare Partnership: We are proud to partner with the Keystone Children’s Center to host a kid’s NYE Celebration (ages 3-11) from 7:00 PM – 10:30 PM.
Parents must remain on property at Warren Station, allowing you to enjoy the party while the kids have their own supervised fun! 🏝️
Night Skiing: Want to get a head start on your resolutions? Night skiing is in full swing! From December 20th through January 3rd, the lifts stay spinning from 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM, allowing you to get those final laps of the year under the stars.
Indulgent Dining: For a sophisticated start to the year, book a multi-course dinner at one of Keystone’s signature spots. Bighorn Bistro, Keystone Ranch, and the Ski Tip Lodge are all offering curated holiday menus perfect for a celebratory toast. 🥂
Daily Adventures: The fun doesn't stop at midnight. Enjoy Mountaintop Snow Tubing, scenic wagon rides, or a skate around the Keystone Lake Ice Rink (now officially open!) or the Dercum Square rink.
