Downhill Snow Tubing at the Frisco Adventure Center- So Much Fun![/caption]
1. Snow Tubing at Adventure Point
Fun for all ages, you have to give it a try while you are visiting Keystone. Go at it alone or pile on together as you speed down the course, spinning away. Can't get enough tubing? Head to the Frisco Adventure Park on Day 2 for a new course of rolling hills, views and fun!
2. Explore the larger than life Kidtopia Snow Fort
Each year comes with a new design and each year it seems to get bigger and better! Have a snowball fight while exploring this larger than life snow fort, open most of the ski season at Keystone Resort.
3. See a live band at the Snake River Saloon
The
Snake River Saloon is one of Keystone's staples for seeing great live music. Located just outside of River Run, in the Mountain House Village, it's a great local's spot to catch a concert and do some dancing! Go early for dinner and skip the Saloon cover charge.
4. Enjoy a relaxing massage at Serenity Spa & Salon
Serenity Spa and Salon is conveniently located down the hall from SummitCove Lodging and is one of Keystone's only Aveda salons. Enjoy one of their Keystone Signature Hot Stone Massage or an Elemental Nature Massage featuring Aveda aromatherapy oils and truly relax while you enjoy your Keystone vacation.

It starts with a gondola ride to North Peak, where you'll enter a Bavarian style hall, complete with a grand fireplace and strolling musicians. You'll feel like you are spending a night in the Alps!
9. Sip on a Colorado-brewed cold one on the deck of New Moon Cafe in the warm Colorado sunshine
The New Moon Cafe in River Run Village is a great place to stop in during Happy Hour, with over 30 beers and daily specials. Take your beer out to the deck on a warm Spring day and enjoy the sunshine!
10. Take a dip in a hot tub while the snow is falling
If you've never been in a hot tub with snow falling down, you are missing out! Most of Keystone's main lodges feature common hot tubs. Some of our favorites include The Springs and Hidden River Lodge, for their amazing ski slope views!
