I LOVE ski resorts. You all ready knew that right? Not only do I live in a ski resort, but I travel around Colorado & the world to seek out the best ski town experiences. Thankfully this year has been a total win for great snow, ย superb mountains, fabulous new friends & lively ski resorts.

In February I was invited to attend Keystone’s Savor the Slopes event. This is a month long festival with each day highlighting a unique culinary/cocktail adventure.

I had never visited Keystone before but I made sure to play in every what I could…

So what sort of adventures did I partake in? Glad you asked.

I skied this world class mountain.

I ate AMAZING food & Savoured the Slopes to the max! My friend & I enjoyed a phenomenal Pinot Noir wine tasting at Alpenglow Stube.

I got to experience the vintage, rustic & elegant Ski Tip Lodge for dinner (I totally need to stay there some day!)

This was originally a stagecoach stop, built in the 1800’s. Today you can stay at their bed & breakfast. Or enjoy their gourmet 4 course dinner like I did. You can also sip cocktails & enjoy their aprรฉs ski in front of the fire.

Here they have them readily available to help you haul your kids ski gear.

I even shopped at my favorite store Gorsuch. I also shop there when I’m in Vail & Beaver Creek. I could live in Gorsuch.

Keystone is a perfect for destination for families and gatherings of all sizes.

It is well laid out with a center shopping & restaurant village called River Run Village.

There are many condos to check out as well. Check in is typically at a central lodge location. I stayed at The Springs Condominiums.

My condo was a lovely 2 bedroom, 2 full bath with a family room & kitchen. It was well equipped, near the slopes and convenient for when you want to dine at home.

Here are a few things you should be sure to look for when you visit Keystone…

There are many fabulous views everywhere you look ~ especially while skiing.

Every day at 4pm there are cookies at the Dercum square ice rink. (Yessss!)

There is a โ€œfamily ski trailโ€ called the Schoolyard. Want a ski break? Head over toย the โ€œBeachโ€ at Labontes cabin, a BBQ restaurant located between the first and second peaks (at the base of the Ruby and Santiago chair lifts). Here you will find Adirondack chairs to chill out on. Have a BBQ sandwich while you enjoy the fresh air!
