Keystone Ski Review (Beginner/Intermediate Slopes, A51 Terrain Park, Covid Restrictions)

[@hiluxshred]

The way keystone is setup is so perfect I love it

[@mtnkds]

It really is an easy mountain to navigate.

[@wrinkle66]

Three corrections: (1) Ski in / Ski out refers to the building or condo one stays in while at a resort and it's proximity to skiable terrain / lifts. It does not refer to the overall resort itself - otherwise every resort would be ski in / ski out if you lived near by. (2) Loveland Ski Area is before the Eisenhower Tunnel if traveling from Denver - so is easier and faster to get to than Keystone. (3) Similarly, Eldora Ski Area is only 49 miles from Denver - Keystone is 69 miles.

[@josemartinezz9152]

Loveland ski is a nice place for beginners thats where i learned

[@caseyjohnson5788]

Finally! A very informative video with the need to know information. My 9 year old is still somewhat new and we are hitting Keystone for the first time on the 12th. He's convinced he is going to learn some beginner tricks at the "play ground" this year. I'm so happy to hear they have options for those not so great with getting on and off the lift just yet.

[@mtnkds]

That was the goal! Glad it was informative for you! He should have a blast on the slopes! Good luck :)

[@rrrrkoop2776]

just got here from Georgia, watching your video's before going out tomorrow. Great Job, makes the mountain friendly.

[@mtnkds]

That's awesome. Glad to hear!

[@ellenenelle]

this is some high quality content! I hope you guys continue to produce more videos, love all the detail and filming that went into this!

[@mtnkds]

Hopefully we will get an IKON slope review in March!

[@bryantjackson4701]

Great video! Going back to Keystone for the first time in 20 years in March and taking my 10 year old for his first western ski trip. Your video was a big help in seeing what things will look like on the mountain. It was really nice to not see it from an expert skier/snowboarders point of view since my son is still very much a beginner. Thanks

[@mtnkds]

That is awesome. I figured it would be much more helpful for any beginners and what to expect.

[@durtysouth85]

these videos are just awesome, looking forward to my ski vacations! im from the Caribbean so i never seen snow before...i know its going to be awesome!

[@nasserqadri612]

really good review. no stupid banter. good relevant info.. would love to see info on back bowls and other hills and maybe more videos of the runs. strong vid man. oh and maybe quick village tour. coming from midwest in a few. this really helps.

[@mtnkds]

Great to hear! I will definitely be doing a video on the back bowls and village soon. Should be good conditions for you.

[@Angierfarm4]

Thx for the video and info!! We’re going in March. Fantastic information. We’re Southern and trust we would have talked on the lift lol. Great stuff thx again

[@calebmiller3157]

Badass video! Very helpful for someone from Louisiana trying to plan a vacation. Thanks again

[@jotheskier6462]

Going to Keystone next weekend with a beginner skier - awesome info

[@mtnkds]

Awesome, glad it was helpful!! Enjoy the snow:)

[@LocalExteriorCleaners]

Its going to be my first time at keystone this coming week. I have a buddy coming along fairly new at snowboarding, so I know now which paths to take him through. Thanks!

[@mtnkds]

Glad it was helpful!! Good luck on the slopes!

[@raulsosa3527]

Mm

[@Brigido92NG]

Dude awesome video! my first time going to Keystone and you already help me a lot! quick TIP! I suggest you to provide more info about the where to stay, how to get there, that free parking lot info was vital for us. I mentioned that to you because we have a really hard time finding a nice affordable place to stay.

[@mtnkds]

Glad it was helpful! Very expensive traveling into the rockies. I will probably do a separate video for the best places to stay, but everything is pretty pricey and its best to book well in advance.

[@josemartinezz9152]

I live in denver i stay up there for 2 nights in hotel there it is a fun resort to walk around at night

[@Jacktheapper]

Coming out there Tuesday love the video!

[@elmoreglidingclub3030]

Great review! Us “normal” skiers really appreciate the looks at the greens and blues. We don’t get to ski often but when we do we think like a kid and have fun like kids!!

[@mtnkds]

Hahaha love it! Good to hear

[@pipegang6497]

I lived in Dillion at the top of the hill on the left across from the Conoco Phillips gas station on Dillion ridge road

[@Boy_rich]

way to go man! this was awesome

[@mtnkds]

Thank you! That's good to hear!

[@jamesfulmer6047]

Great info man thanks! I will be going next week and can’t wait. I worked there many years ago and know alot has changed, especially with the Covid restrictions. My wife is a first time skier and your video was especially helpful for her. Thanks again keep up the good work!

[@mtnkds]

Awesome glad it helped! Enjoy the slopes!

[@LC-mc3tg]

Thanks for the great video and information. Just returned yesterday from Keystone. It was an amazing experience. It was first time to ski. We really enjoyed it. Nice people and beautiful scenery.

[@mtnkds]

That's awesome!! Glad you had a good time!

[@ScatrickFlorence]

Wow this was great! Thank you!

[@mtnkds]

Glad it was helpful :) You are welcome!

[@jeffbowman2412]

That’s one cool summit sign 😏😎

[@Ian00003]

2:99 my sister lost her phone at Breckinridge and someone turned it in Guest services. Pretty cool

[@JKCollectibles_]

Hey loved the video. I was at Breckenridge in January skiing and stayed at One Skill Hill. I would definitely be up for doing some runs at some point in the future.

[@mjsherzoy4071]

Going to hit Keystone this coming up Wednesday lol and I'm midwestern :P thank for the tips bud

[@mtnkds]

Ayyyyy gotta love the midwest. Just went to Keystone yesterday. You should have pretty good mountain conditions considering we haven't had a ton of snow. Good luck my man!

[@chrishutchins8448]

Hey how was it?

[@mjsherzoy4071]

@@chrishutchins8448 it was awesome!

[@thomaswiman3804]

I love Keystone

[@mtnkds]

Keystone is one of my favorites as well!

[@johnloffredo]

You got good energy vibes bro would def watch more vids. surprised you don't have more subs man keep it up

[@mtnkds]

Ayyyyy thanks my man. Will be putting up many more vids here in the future. Appreciate it!

[@TheTaty8743]

Beautiful 😍 place ❄️❄️❄️ it is time to come back to Keystone ❄️❄️❄️☺️ 🎿🎿 last time back 2004 .. it is time haha

[@tylergaul8094]

Awesome man this helped out a lot I’m going to Colorado for the first time this weekend. I’m from the Midwest and the thing you said how a lot of Midwesterns would talk makes sense lol

[@mtnkds]

That's great to hear. I'm glad it was helpful for someone! You will have a blast at Keystone. Enjoy the Rockies!

[@theredacted3805]

The point about midwesterners talking right now is kinda funny. Snow creek (kansas city) is my regular hill and about 75% of the time I'd ride up with someone and talk with mask of course.

[@michelerearden1240]

Thank you! This video was really helpful. We are coming from an area with less restrictions, so we've been worried about following all of the protocols. We would talk to you on the chair lifts, haha. It's been 10 years since we've been to Keystone, and this time we are bringing three teens/preteens....so all of the beginner info was incredibly helpful.

[@mtnkds]

They will all love it plus the Rockies are starting to get more snow! Its been a pretty dry year!

[@jungsoonkoo]

Thanks so much for the details and fresh information.

[@mtnkds]

Any time! Let me know if you would like to see any other kinds of reviews.

[@erickjflores1]

Awesome vid, lots of good info.

[@spencerTN007]

My family is going in late March and we are taking ski school at Mountain House. What is the best way to get from Expedition Station condos near River Run Village, to Mountain House?

[@mtnkds]

There is a free bus that you can take out front the main entrance of river run that you can ride over to mountain house. They usually run every 15-30 mins. The bus stop will be labelled for you!

[@kaiserzin]

dope vid!

[@leeburnstein293]

Going to Keystone Feb 16th. My 10 year old son broke his leg skiing 2 years ago, so is very hesitant when out skiing again this year. He is comfortable on "not steep" hills. Are runs like schoolmarm and the other beginner areas, pretty flat, but just long, or do you pick up some decent speed?

[@mtnkds]

There are a couple areas on Schoolmarm where you can pick up some decent speed. You might think about sticking to the beginning area then gauge how he's feeling and go from there.

[@t-kroll]

Great video! Dope hoodie, where did you get it?

[@Jake-ft3cg]

thank you for this video. we are planning a family trip to keystone and because we are Floridians, we have a hard time in snow weather and high altitude roadways. (i am extremely terrified of roads on the side of a mountain. is that something we would run into on this trip even if we stayed off the resort in an air bnb?

[@Fallenpuertorican]

Going there in a couple of weeks! Thanks for the tips man.. btw what black hoodie are you wearing in the video? Looks dope!

[@mtnkds]

Any time my man! Ill have a Breck Review coming out shortly too! The sweatshirt in the video is just something I found on the clearance rack at ROSS. One of my favs tho!

[@jasonrowen8938]

We are going skiing for the very first time and going to Keystone this Thanksgiving, how many the trails are usually open ???

[@mtnkds]

You should be able to ski most of the front side of the mountain during the early ski season! Keystone is one of the best resorts at making snow.

[@yoshibsnowboarding]

Great video man! Going up next weekend for the first time at keystone! Appreciate all the info my dude hopefully I don't get lost! What runs would you recommend for some intermediate tree runs?

[@mtnkds]

I really like frenchman going into the trees and all the adventure areas marked by the smiley faces on the trail map

[@yoshibsnowboarding]

@@mtnkds cool cool appreciate that ill keep an eye out for the faces!!

[@iamlaurayournot]

Do they rent out all the gear?

[@camilomm88]

Hello! Buddy, do you recommend buy the lift tickets with the lesson or not? I ride my skateboard but never tried snowboard/skii. Some recommendations before buy something?

[@mtnkds]

If you have never snowboarded or skiied before you would probably be okay with just the lesson. But if you are a quick learner or want to give it a go by yourself then lift tickets would be the way to go as well.

[@anushags6634]

Thanks for great info.. what’s the best ski mountain for toddlers and beginners? Some place that is risk free

[@awiegwa]

Beaver Creek's McCoy Park

[@lumberjackthirsttrap3676]

As an intermediate is it possible to go up to the bowls? Or is it super sketchy? Is there a way besides the $500 Cat Tour to see the peak and if not capable get back down without snowboarding? I’m headed up there March 27th/28th

[@mtnkds]

Keystone isn't the easiest to ski the bowls. There are actually hiking trails up to ski each peak, but its like a mile trek for each. Which isn't super fun in ski gear, the snow cat rides are definitely the easiest way. If you are an intermediate skier that's been skiing for years then the bowls are definitely doable. It is just important to know your own limits.

[@shordy77]

I was thinking about going but the price is $200 for 2 days . I’m a new this will be my second time trying it . Y is it like 100 a day idk . Do u kno any cheap one?

[@mtnkds]

Yeah, unfortunately skiing at vail resorts is pretty expensive if you dont have the local pass. The cheapest skiing option close to Denver would be Loveland Ski Hill.

[@whoisthe1412]

What size is your ski bro?

[@80153natalia]

Is the learning area free?

[@mroliver9783]

Why dont They have other parks open they have only 1 park open?

[@mtnkds]

That was back in January. The snow was scare this year and they were still building out the jumps. Im sure it would be open now. Finally got buckets of snow in the Rockies.

[@mroliver9783]

@@mtnkds thats true

[@gvv1mhh]

Good stuff. I could do without all the extras in there. Just want info about the slope and keystone. Focus on main content.

[@josemartinezz9152]

Sadly colorado aint concerned midwest

[@jmjines]

How old is too old to learn how to ski or snowboard ?🏂🤔

[@mtnkds]

Never too old to learn something new!!

[@BradyVanRossum]

Song?

[@mtnkds]

Honestly not too sure it was a copy right free one from epidemic sound. The artist was APOLLO I believe

[@finerbiner]

I disagree completely. Keystone is the lesser of the 4 Vail resorts in the area. Dercum is always overcrowded. North peak funnels everyone into the "freeway" runs to get back to the lift. Outback is fine but nothing special.
