Keystone Mountain
Keystone Mountain Resort located off Hwy 6 in Summit County, only an hour and 15 minutes outside of Denver, is well known for its quality and varying terrain. Despite being one of the more popular and visited Colorado ski resorts, you’ll rarely hear complaints about crowds. With over 3,148 acres spread across three distinct mountains (Dercum, North Peak, and Outback), Keystone actually boasts the most skiable acreage in Summit county, 49% of which is classified as advanced/expert terrain. Keystone is known for its variable terrain including steeps, trees, bumps, groomers, terrain parks, side country, and some very nice hike access. They even have some snow-cat skiing.
Keystone Elevation
Keystone has a base elevation of 9,280 feet with a peak elevation of 12,408 feet. With the town of Keystone being pretty well aligned with the base of the mountain, if you’re staying in Keystone, you’re sleeping at 9000 feet above sea level. Ascending more than 3000 feet in one day most certainly can lead to altitude-related illness so even residents of Denver can have issues sleeping in Keystone. There’s a reason Bluebird Oxygen chose Summit County as our pioneering market; reserve your Keystone Oxygen rental with Bluebird here.
Why Choose Bluebird Oxygen For Your Keystone Oxygen Rental?
Keystone is our home mountain, and we’re smitten. You’ll frequently find Bluebird employees hanging in River Run or sliding on the Keystone slopes. With at least 3 drivers within 10 miles of Keystone Resort you can be confident even the most unexpected need will be addressed promptly.
Keystone Lodging
Keystone, like many Vail-owned resorts, has ample lodging opportunities with more in construction currently. Even the “dated” properties at Keystone seem to have aged well and just fit the mountain’s vibe. It’s pretty tough to find a place that isn’t satisfactory in this town. One of our favorite rental providers in the Keystone area is Summit Cove Vacation Rentals. With a large inventory of properties at varying prices and top-notch customer service Summit Cove is where I always encourage potential visitors to start their search.
