Keystone Resort is a popular destination for winter sports enthusiasts, offering a renowned snowboard park and diverse slopes suitable for varying skill levels. The resort recently received 21 inches of snow, extending the season until April 16th, providing visitors with an extra week of late-season skiing and riding through Easter. Additionally, season pass holders can take advantage of discounted buddy passes during this period.
Amazing ski resort. Coming from a greenhorn, the mountain and everyone on it were very accommodating and kind. Many paths to take. After hitting the bunny slope with the kids, I got the courage to hit the greens. Very forgiving and wide. I can not wait to return, improve, explore, and take in the beautiful surroundings. The staff was super friendly, talented, and educational. The lifts were fantastic and plentiful. After our long day, we took advantage of the lodge. Lots of food items, atmosphere, and IPA's.

I returned home today and I really didn't want to leave that paradise. It's a mixture of fun, tranquility and overwhelming scenery. The route through the mountain is challenging for those who don't know the place but are worth every minute in it. The people who work in this place are formidable . . and if they want to have a good, tasty breakfast, visit (Steep Brewing and Coffee!!!.

Keystone Resort in Colorado is the perfect destination for a Christmas or New Year vacation! The atmosphere is absolutely amazing, filled with holiday spirit and breathtaking mountain views. The ski trails are beautifully maintained and offer something for every level, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced skier. The vibe here is festive and welcoming, making it the ideal spot to celebrate the holidays with family and friends. Between the gorgeous snowy scenery, fun activities, and top-notch skiing, Keystone truly delivers a magical winter getaway. Highly recommend!

Went on a pre-season sunday. No lines, but the only open piste (schoolarm) was crowded. The chairlifts, gondolas and bars are well equipped. Being a intermediate, I had loads of fun on 3ish mile run. Highly recommend if you have an epic pass, otherwise I wouldn't pay full day price for pre-season times

Coffee shop
Breakfast restaurant
Cafe
Inxpot is a cozy cafe located in the beautiful River Run Village, offering a comfortable setting filled with books. It's a great spot to satisfy your coffee cravings and indulge in delicious breakfast options like hearty toast and signature burritos. The cafe serves locally roasted coffee brewed in small batches for quality. With its blend of books, coffee, martinis, and delectable sandwiches, Inxpot has become a local favorite.
Inxpot offers great food and even better service. There's inside and outside seating, and after a whole day of skiing ⛷️ their cortado tastes the best one can ask for. Their assortment of pastries is great too, with their strawberry & cheese and the apple turnover being excellent. As a plus, they have some books too if one is in the mood for some reading after hitting the slopes.
Yuri — Google review
Inxpot is a dream come true for early risers and mountain lovers alike. Opening bright and early, it’s the perfect place to start your day with a delicious breakfast beverage in hand and that cozy local vibe that makes you want to linger. The oatmeal? Absolutely next level—comforting, hearty, and full of flavor. Pair it with one of their expertly crafted coffees and you're set for the day. The atmosphere is just as memorable as the food—think comfy couches, shelves of books, a game of chess by the window, and the kind of mountain-town charm that instantly makes you feel at home. A must-visit if you’re in town. Can’t wait to come back!

$16 and change for a” hot and ready” burrito. It wasn’t hot and it wasn’t ready. The entire thing fit inside the palm of my hand see photo. I guess this is what you get in resort towns now the spot used to be awesome but after this and then them wanting $4.50 for a coffee in my own mug I won’t be going back.

Loved it. Such a cute spot! The interior was totally unexpected as was the deliciousness of the elderberry croissant. We recently went to France and lemme tell ya, they ain’t got no elderberry croissants. They baristas were great and so helpful and friendly and it was all a clean as could be. Def will go back and really can’t figure how we’ve never been here before! Husband and I are trying vanilla lattes everywhere around the globe that we can find them and comparing. From worldwide chains to local carts. We love it! These were okey dokey!

This is a cool, comfortable coffee shop. Definitely worth a visit for a drink (caffeinated or boozy) and a chat with your bestie. The day I visited, they happened to be very short-staffed. It resulted in the wrong drink being made for me. I noticed that things were HECTIC for them that day, and the drink was close enough, so I didn't make a deal out of it. There are number of pastries for sale as well. We got a cinnamon roll and a muffin (from their day-old 50%-off plate, which I appreciate). The muffin did seem a bit under-done on the inside, but still good. Along with coffee drinks, they offer a bunch of cocktails, breakfast burritos, bagels, salads and sandwiches. The fridges stock energy drinks (which can be made into cocktails) and a few beer selections. The atmosphere is very cool, kind of looks like an old library. There are big stuffed chairs and wooden tables for you. There is a lot of natural light streaming in from large windows. There are bookshelves filled with books (which are all for sale), and a homey mantel. Are you in the mood for a mocha latte or a tipsy mocha? Either way, this comfy nook is worthy of a visit.

Been thinking about Keystone lately. Winter's on its way. Checking in on my go-to coffee spot. Great vibe. Great brews. Friendly staff. Nice spots inside and out to sip, warm up, and chill.

We were originally drawn in because we read that they are the home of the 4$ Irish Coffee, and now this is our go-to breakfast spot at the mountain. The unit itself is very small and gets VERY crowded. There is a small bar and a room with tables in the back, but people also crowd around to wait for their to-go orders. We love their burritos! If you have time, and can find a table, I suggest ordering the burrito smothered, but if you're on the go, it's just not feasible. The food is always HOT and gives you a great base for a long day of riding. Their spicy salsa is very thin and runny, but tastes amazing! Their famous 4$ Irish Coffee is hot, strong and nicely topped with whipped cream and sprinkles! I would highly recommend this place! Original Yelp review 3/14/2021

Ski & Snowboard Areas
Arapahoe Basin is a popular ski resort known for its high-elevation terrain and long season, making it the first to open and the last to close. It's favored by serious snow enthusiasts for its rugged slopes and laid-back atmosphere, often featuring tail-gate BBQs after skiing. While lacking some amenities of larger resorts, it offers diverse skiing options for various skill levels, including challenging routes that require hiking. The staff is friendly and helpful, with well-marked trails and satisfactory equipment.
The first colorado ski resort to check off my list; I spent two days here and it was awesome. My snowboarding instructors Casey and Philip are amazing. 10/10 thanks for everything, guys! 💙 If you're a beginner snowboarder, request them for sure. Check in and rental process was quick and easy. Good atmosphere and terrain was well groomed. Beginner friendly runs, as well as challenging ones. Lift attendants were helpful. Not too busy and no long lines on a tues-thurs. Love the tail-gate vibes and music. Lastly, if you go to the restaurant, order the Hot Apple Pie. You're welcome. #balance&composure

Fantastic and has the best spring skiing around considering how late they stay open! Might be the only place around, but it presents fully open as if it’s the middle of season. Friendly and helpful staff, easy parking and shuttle, quick access to restrooms, food options, and almost a beach like atmosphere at this stage of the year!! (May-June). Reduced pricing too- can’t beat great skiing, short lines, low traffic!

It's a great place to ski. The ski area opens in late fall all the way to early summer. Great view at the mountain top and good live music at the base. Parking is limited because many people will be there. Go there early to get parking closer to the lift.

We had a great time visiting A-basin in late May- after Memorial Day! So excited they were still open. 🎿 The rental shop was great- personalized service by Nick & Rebekah. They set us up with some great gear to use. 🎿 It’s been a while since we’ve skied, we loved the convenience of keeping our lift ticket in our pocket, vs the old skool tags that were scanned at the lift. Great prices, no crowds & free parking for Spring!!!

Legendary for a reason! Was able to snowboard here in June and October. I really like that there isn’t a resort type of vibe here. Just people that come to enjoy the sport.
David T — Google review
Skiing here over Memorial Day weekend is an amazing experience. The two open lodges serve food that surpasses the quality of most other ski resorts, adding to the enjoyment of the trip. Even in late May, the snow remains in excellent condition, making for a fantastic ride down the slopes. One thing to keep in mind: ski lifts may shut down for 30 minutes after a lightning strike. If the weather is unforgiving, you could end up waiting half the day with your boots on. But beyond that, there's little to complain about when visiting the only ski resort still open at the end of May.
Chao C — Google review
Went two years ago. Will go back hopefully soon. Had a great time on the mountain, but the prices definitely sting if you’re buying day tickets. Passes and multi-day deals are the only way to make it feel reasonable. The vibe is more laid-back compared to the bigger resorts, which I really liked. Just keep in mind there aren’t any hotels right at the base. We stayed about 15 minutes away, and there are plenty of options in the nearby towns. It takes a little extra planning, but it also keeps things feeling less crowded and more authentic.

Good Times Adventure Tours offers an unforgettable experience with dog sledding and snowmobiling. The dog sledding tour is a highlight, featuring enthusiastic dogs and a picturesque trail. The staff ensures the well-being of the dogs, making it a heartwarming experience. Snowmobiling is equally thrilling, with easy-to-use equipment and stunning views. Participants get to drive their own snowmobiles and enjoy being pulled in a sled when not driving.
Today was the best day of my life—I’m not kidding! Dog sledding was the most amazing, fun, and memorable experience!!! Alec, our guide, had such a great vibe! His calm and reassuring energy helped put the group at ease. We’re scheduled to go back tomorrow for snowmobiling, but this company has already exceeded my expectations, so this review is well deserved!! 10/10!!!! If you’re in Breckenridge, this is a MUST!!

This was such an amazing experience! Our guide Jeff was so knowledgeable and down to earth. My family was a group of 4 and we had another couple with us as well, but she made us all feel included as a team. The dogs were so amazing, and it was extremely neat to learn about each and every one of them (for our sled team that is). I was surprised we were able to play with them and pet them as well. The amazing photos and views were breathtaking. If you ever get the chance to do this, this is the place to go in Breck!

We went here to celebrate my birthday and it truly exceeded our expectations! The dog sledding was worth every penny. In addition to the dogs, our guide Baker was a highlight of our experience. He was friendly, kind, patient, informative, helpful and all around the perfect person to lead us. We couldn’t have had a better time. A gem in Breckenridge and a MUST if you’re in Colorado.

Unforgettable Family Adventure! Snowmobiling has always been on my ski trip bucket list, and now I’m wondering why we didn’t do it sooner. This experience was absolutely incredible—so much fun for the whole family, and something we’ll be making a tradition from here on out. The snowmobiles were top-notch and easy to handle, even for beginners. Our guide, Maggie, was fantastic—super knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole ride feel safe and exciting. The moment we reached Georgia Pass and took in that breathtaking view? Unreal. If you’re on the fence about booking this excursion, take this as your sign—do it!

Awesome experience! My son (16) and I did the dog sled tour yesterday (3/30/25) on a family trip to Breckenridge. This was absolutely the experience of a lifetime and just fantastic. Our guide, Erin, was so patient and sweet and clearly loves the dogs and her job. We loved getting to pet the dogs and interact with them. It was a blast getting to ride the dog sled, drive the dog sled and also ride behind Erin as she pulled a sleigh with a snowmobile. My son really did well driving the dog sled and had such a good time doing it. The dogs were so beautiful, we decided we want our own dog sled team of eight Huskies. Not so sure how that will work at home in Tennessee, but I can dream! Please do yourself a favor when in Breckenridge and book a dog sledding adventure with this company. It is pricey, but so worth it!

Incredible Family adventure. We went yesterday as a family and had an incredible time with the DogSledding! Sophia was an incredible guide, everyone was able to drive the sled our 12 and 9 year old! Previously our family had gone dog sledding near Leadville Co, that was also a good time but we were basically in a big field. Good Times Adventure Tours was awesome their property bordered the National Forest and so we were on trails in the forest up and down around tight turns it was fantastic. The dogs were amazing and well cared for. It is clear that the whole team at at Good times are passionate with what they do. I would hold heartily encourage anyone to go and dog sledding with Good Times Adventures!!!

We recently did the snow mobile tour with Good Times. Our tour guide Josh was beyond fantastic! We could not recommend him enough. He was incredibly helpful and ensured that everyone felt confident and knowledgeable about how to operate the vehicle before we took off. He went at a good pace for everyone and guided us through some beautiful terrain before we came to the "top" of our trip with the fantastic views shown in the photos. There were no "scary" cliffs, so this is extremely family friendly. The mobiles offer space for a passenger, so that was a great bonus too as we did have some children with us. You get what you pay for, and going with a company who knows the mountain, knows what they are doing and ensures you feel safe and well equipped is key. We will definitely be back and will definitely request Josh again.

Luigi's Pastahouse is a fantastic place with quick and excellent service. The bread served with delicious butter is a must-try, and the penne alla vodka has its own unique and delicious twist. It's highly recommended for those who love vodka sauce. Additionally, it's a good spot for drinks, appetizers, and desserts. Perfect for dinner after a day of skiing or just to enjoy some great food in general.
This place was very good! First of all the service was fantastic we order food and got it in like 5 minutes, amazing, we weren’t even done with our bread. Secondly the bread was amazing with great butter to go along with the bread. Lastly my penne alla vodka was very good, as an avid vodka sauce lover this place did not disappoint it had the vodka sauce taste but they put their own twist on it and it was delicious. I would highly recommend eating here!

Staff was very friendly, even accommodated 8 people quickly. The food was very good and came out fast and hot. Some of our mixed drinks were good but my friend got a strawberry margarita that was so so and my wife got some sort of Italian drink with an orange peel in it that was very bitter but maybe that is what it is supposed to taste like. I got a Cabernet and they only poured maybe 4 oz. so overall good and service was good but missed the mark on drinks so for that I just give 3 stars. For as much money as restaurants charge for drinks I should really be delighted by the drinks!!
Brian P — Google review
The food here had a lot of flavor and was good quality, but there wasn't enough of it. Three people at my table including me ordered a recommended pasta dish and were all disappointed with the portion size. Ironically, the fourth person at our table ordered a sandwich with french fries and couldn't finish it all because it was so much food. He shared, thankfully. I think this place could be great if they fixed the price/food ratio. My experience was a bit underwhelming, though. Will definitely be looking for other options next time.

Summit House is a cafeteria-style eatery located at the top of the mountain, offering breathtaking views and a variety of food options including sandwiches, soups, salads, and beer. Visitors can enjoy a free gondola ride on Fridays during the summer to reach this scenic spot. The location provides an array of family-friendly activities and seating areas.
It's really good! My only comment is, is that the French fries were a bit on the salty side but warm and delicious. It gets extremely busy during lunch time hours! If you go, go early. Later in the day isn't bad, around 3 pm you probably could find a seat available! I also went there a second time and got the hot chocolate. It's worth it and so yummy.

Food was one of the best on mountain experiences that I have had in Colorado. Summit House could stand do a better job of communication with their staff. We came in during a snowstorm for lunch and of course the place was packed but there was plenty of seating upstairs. When we tried to go upstairs we were told by a snotty employee that it was for staff only. Then somebody came over and said we could go up. Everything else was good but somebody should have been paying attention to the influx of skiers at lunch time to free up tables. Food was great and it was quick.

The bartender at the summit house is rude and very entitled. He throws a fit over a dollar tip for a $14 beer that came in a can. Didn’t make a mixed drink, didn’t even pour the beer into a glass. The transaction took 30 seconds, very disappointed with the staff and on opening week. Does not make me want to come back to this bar nor does it make me want to tip you more for your non-friendly encounter. Erick was the bartender.

Love the view of Dillon Reservoir from the upper decks here! Unfortunately, the bathrooms are below the main level, down stairs. The covid food selection is so-so and pricey (i.e., two beers and two bags of chips for $25.. what a steal!). Otherwise, the eating areas are comfortable enough for a quick rest before heading back out again!

We had a great time high up at the Summit House! Breath taking views all around you. There was Bags, Jega, and Connet 4 that the family really enjoyed.

I love the summer free Friday gondola ride up to the top of the mountain. I'm not sure if it's the summit house or who that sets up all the games, chairs, and family fun. We had a blast! I assume the summit house had the bar and food station. The line was long to get food so i went to the bar. The staff was great. They were very friendly and informative. I loved the water bottle fountain. We are bringing back our entire family in December so i will update you then.

Great location, view of course (5-star), food options were ok (3-star) - better than we're used to in Michigan ski resorts - but super pricey. $10-12 for a slice of pizza,$14 for a bowl of chili. Also has a good salad bar for a mountain top - again, pricey. We packed a lunch the rest of the time we were there.

Barbecue restaurant
Nestled at the base of the Ruby Express Lift in Keystone Resort, LaBonte's Smokehouse BBQ offers a unique dining experience accessible only by skiing or snowboarding. While prices are on the higher side, the quality of food justifies it. The outdoor patio seating provides a great atmosphere for enjoying delicious brisket sandwiches and other smoked meats while soaking up the sun. The mid-mountain location adds to its appeal, making it an ideal spot for a break during skiing or snowboarding.
BBQ smothered tots really hit the spot! Well worth the wait, good luck finding a seat (but isn't that every mid-mountain lodge?). The vinegar sauce is my new obsession. Will be back for sure!

This place is great for what you get. Instead of paying 20 bucks for a burger, I paid 20 bucks for a brisket sandwich and it was delicious! (Everything tastes better when you're skiing, but I was so happy I ordered this). Had a great lunch on the patio chairs outside in the sun. Sitting inside was a little crowded and felt cafeteria-like, but sitting outside was really fun.

This is the perfect place to grab a hearty lunch on the mountain! The platter is about $20 but has so much food that it’s perfect to split between 2 or even 3 people (depending on appetites)! They also have quite the selection of barbecue sauces to choose from.

Best $6.50 beer I've ever had. Steps from Ruby and Santiago lifts, order drinks (beer, bloody marys were our favorite) from outside. Music playing, good view of Starfire, Mozart runs.
Benjamin K — Google review
They just remodeled the place with a lot of nice indoor seating. The beer and food are still expensive, but it's a good stop if you don't want to head all the way back to the base in the middle of the day.
