Hello Snowboarders & Skiers,

LAST CALL!  On Thursday, October 23rd we will be canceling any unfilled spots on the Keystone New Years Trip.  

Currently we have six people confirmed so we will be a small but SUPER FUN group:  Scott, Amylee, Colleen, Kelly, Andrea, and Katrin are all set to go.  We will be tearing up the slopes in Keystone from December 28th-January 2nd.  What will you be doing?  

We have a 7th person who would like join the trip and we are searching for an 8th person for the double occupancy requirement.  If you are interested in joining us last minute (payment due on or before Thursday, October 23rd), please call or E-mail me right away.

I’m working in Denver this week and was able to make trip to Keystone to explore the ski resort.  Our hotel is a five minute walk to the lift.  This lift, I am told by the hotel staff, has short lines (even during the high demand period between Christmas and New Years) and from there we can get to any other lift or gondola to explore the entire mountain.  We’ll be dining and dancing at Snake River Saloon, an affordable but upscale “white table cloth” restaurant very near the hotel on New Years Eve.  They will have a live band called Swerve.  Check out the bands facebook page here http://www.facebook.com/swervelivedenver   There are two rental facilities steps from the hotel if you need to rent equipment and lots of fun lounges and in-expensive restaurants.

See below pictures I took of The Inn at Keystone.  Checkout the picture from one of the two rooftop hot tubs that overlook the ski runs.  Après Ski anyone?

Keystone Slopes in the winter!  There is already snow on the slopes and I saw people snowboarding at Loveland right before I went through the Eisenhower Tunnel!

My meal at Snake River Saloon, Filet Oscar with butternut squash!
