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."
