Tucked away in the White River National Forest of the Rocky Mountains, Keystone Resort is the largest ski area in Summit County, Colorado. Spread across three peaks—Dercum Mountain, North Peak and the Outback—the resort boasts more than 3,000 acres of skiable terrain. From gentle groomers, rolling cruisers and steep bumps, to gladed terrain, and powder-filled bowls, Keystone is the perfect playground for all ability levels from beginners to rippers.
Dercum Mountain
Sitting at 11,640 feet, Dercum Mountain greets guests as they enter the resort from the River Run or Mountain House base areas. Its trails offer skiers and riders long, groomed beginner runs, including the resort's Family Ski Trail and Schoolmarm, as well as a variety of wide, rolling intermediate runs.
North Peak
Directly behind Dercum Mountain, you’ll find North Peak. At 11,660 feet, it double-dog dares intermediate to advanced skiers and riders to take on a wide array of challenging terrain, including long bump runs. Work up an appetite? Grab lunch at Labonte's Smokehouse BBQ or The Outpost in the Timber Ridge food court, or even return that evening on the gondola for dinner at the Aplenglow Stube or Der Fondue Chessel.
The Outback
At 11,980 feet, The Outback is Keystone's furthest and tallest peak. It is an oasis for skiers and riders looking to play in the deep end making powder turns and tree skiing. Take a short hike off the top of the Outback Express Lift for access to North and South Bowls, where skiers and riders can find wide-open turns and powder stashes.
For those who like carving outside the lift lines, Independence, Bergman, Erickson, North Bowl and South Bowl serve up more than 1,000 acres of incredible hike-to-terrain with secret stashes and untouched tree runs.
The Bowls
In addition to Keystone’s three main peaks, Independence, Bergman, Erickson, North and South bowls offer skiers and riders incredible high alpine terrain and access to secret stashes, tree runs and powder laps across more than 1,000 acres. Just when you think you've skied it all, there's something new to find at Keystone. With the debut of our new 6-person lift, the Bergman Express, guests can easily lap the mellow and welcoming high alpine terrain of Bergman Bowl, as well as access more advanced terrain in Erickson Bowl that will connect back to the Outback Express and Wayback lifts.

Night Skiing
Get ready to enjoy the longest ski day in all of Colorado. Families can ski late on multiple lighted trails during the weekends and peak holiday periods. It’s the perfect way to get in a few more laps. Stop dreaming and keep skiing, because counting turns is way more fun than counting sheep.
