We all learn to walk before we run, and on the mountain, everyone needs to have a first-time experience before they can master the hill. These first experiences are special and can define one's relationship with the mountain for years to come.
While this may be your first time at Keystone, we know it doesn't necessarily mean you're a beginner. But if you are, just follow this guide to find exactly what it will take to have an epic first-time experience.
Keystone Ski & Snowboard School
When you’re learning how to ski and snowboard, it's best to get pointers from the best of the best. Our professional instructors are world-class snow pros who know just the right moves to help you master the sport. In addition, with our EpicMix Academy, you can track your progress throughout the day and season.
Be sure to check out our family private lessons—a unique opportunity to grow skills and share lasting memories with those who matter most. The family that learns together, stays together.
Family Ski Trail
Schoolmarm, our family ski trail, is full of fun features for kids and beginners. It's where kids have the space and comfort to go their own speed and play on our signature terrain features such as Tornado Alley and Rockin' Rollers. Access Schoolmarm from the River Run gondola or Summit Express lift from the Village base area, or via the Peru lift from Mountain House. Warm up lapping the Montezuma 6-Pack lift before tackling all 3.5 miles of top-to-bottom Schoolmarm fun.
Adventure Point
When you need to take a break from making turns, check-out a different kind of fun, found only at Adventure Point. Our Kidtopia Snow Fort is perfect for exploring, and the tubing hill gets you off your feet while still being able to experience the thrill of flying down a mountain.
Night Skiing
After you’ve gotten a few runs under your belt, you may want to try something new. Night skiing is a one-of-a-kind experience for all levels, with plenty of trails for beginners. And the best part is, guests who are lodging with Keystone Resort Hospitality receive one free night of arrival lift tickets (dependent on operating schedule)
