Packing List , opens in a new window
- Helmet: The use of helmets is strongly recommended. Children age 14 and under must wear a winter sport protective helmet while participating in ski & ride school, subject to local regulations. In addition, children and teens under age 18 who participate in designated children's classes or programs must wear a helmet. Rental helmets are available at our children's ski school locations for your convenience.
- Warm clothes including moisture wicking base layers, mid layers to trap body heat, and water-resistant outerwear, warm calf-high socks, and gloves or mittens.
- Goggles or sunglasses
- Sunscreen is recommended, even on cloudy days.
- Don’t have your own gear? Rent with Keystone and let our experts fit you with the best boots, skis or snowboard for your best day on the mountain.
- Lift Access: All lesson participants must have a valid lift ticket or pass. Tickets can be purchased online with a group lesson package or separately here.
First time on mountain this season? Make sure you review and sign the waiver in your account prior to your trip.
Arriving on Mountain
You've made it! Here are some tips for your on-mountain arrival, including Express Lift Ticket Pickup if you purchased your lift tickets less than 9 days in advance.
Tips to make the most of our Mountain Playground!
- Keystone has two primary base areas, River Run Village and Mountain House. The Mountain House base area is generally the quieter one, and offers the closest parking to the lifts, with the Peru Express just steps from both free and paid parking options.
- Parking on peak days generally fills by 10:00 am, so plan to arrive early to guarantee a spot.
- Take advantage of night skiing on weekends and holidays! Start your day late, enjoy a leisurely morning and hit the slopes in the afternoon. There’s still plenty of turns to be had with night skiing operations until 8:00 pm, and if parking did fill in the morning, it usually starts to open up again after lunch.
- Kids ski totally FREE at Key! Kids 12 and younger ski for free with no blackout dates when families book just two or more nights through Keystone Resort.
- If you’re just learning and getting your ski/ride legs under you, check out the Discovery learning area at Mountain House. Or, upload and download the River Run Gondola to learning terrain at the top of Dercum Mountain with the Kokomo carpet and Ranger lift.
- Download the Epic Mix App and check the alerts to get the latest real-time updates on the mountain.
