I can only assume Keystone is representative of the pricey Vail resorts, as I haven't been to the others. Great place to ski, of course, they do a great job. And it is a wonderful mountain, with plenty of terrain of all types, even some great tree skiing on Outback and off North peak. The crowding is not very noticeable once you get over to the back bowls, however some of that terrain they close quite early in the day, as early as 1:30pm. Overall though a great mountain and so convenient for Denver, not a bad deal if you get a season pass.
All high-speed lifts, lots of terrain, perfect grooming
Expensive, can be crowded some days

Keystone is a wonderful resort that offers a wide variety of terrain for all types and levels of skiers. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful.
Super friendly staff, lots of variety terrain-wise
Free shuttle bus fleet could use an upgrade

Keystone has a lot to offer. It has diverse terrain for all skill levels. Free parking at the base and easy to navigate trails. Overall enjoyable mountain and easy access off the highway.
Fun back bowls
A lot of beginners on the front side of the mountain

With poor conditions through much of the year Keystone like alot of resorts had issues. Too many people not enough runs. It didn't seem like they limit people when they have limited terrain open. Which is the source of many complaints. When the coverage is good. And all the runs are open you can feel isolated on weekdays. We've been here back to back seasons. First one was epic. This season not so much. Nature of the beast.
Great terrain

It’s a great place to ski. Not that far from DIA and lots of good hard terrain.
Great mountain. Easy to navigate.
Mountain House area needs upgrading.

Overall, I enjoyed my first time at Keystone and will go back. I had a great instructor for adult beginner snowboarding. I appreciated the parking lots as compared to other locations that charge an arm and a leg to park.
Great snowboard instructor for adult learning
The main green run is pretty steep (should probably be a blue).

I liked the variety of terrain at Keystone and moved through it as the season progressed.
Early open, enjoyed getting out during November.
Got busy as season went on. Hill full of people after noon

Really enjoy Keystone. I am an intermediate skier and feel challenged enough by the slopes with lots of good choices with the 3 main areas of the resort to choose from. Also love having the mountain house and summit house to relax a bit when needed.
Long, fun groomers that let you work on turning at speed (if the slopes aren’t crazy busy.) Beautiful views from several spots on the mountain. Bergman bowl is great for wide open bowl skiing for intermediates with some more intense mogul sections if you
Lift lines can be long at certain times of the season.

Like many resorts, Keystone suffers from a lack of employees which leads to subpar appearances and services. The vibe was MUCH better pre-Covid. Changes need to be made.
Varied terrain and peaks offer many options. Opens early in season with some of the best early season snow and conditions.
Closes too early in the season. Cleanliness of facilities could be better. Lack of on-mountain services disapponting.

Keystone is a well-kept secret. Widely seen as an intermediate mountain because of Dercum Mountain, its two other mountains have terrific and largely empty advanced runs.
Long top-to-bottom runs on all three mopuntains.
Not as steep as A-Basin next door.
