Early Snow Launches Keystone Terrain Park

Calling all snow riders and free-skiers. The snow continues to fly here in Colorado! Keystone has just opened up more terrain including a 21 feature terrain park, currently the largest park in the US.

Check out the terrain park scene from this past Friday - November 14th!



There's a reason people love to ski Keystone. If you've ever skied here, you know. Skiing Keystone is like skiing three mountains in one. From the notoriously epic powder that greets skiers and riders venturing into Independence Bowl to the long bump runs of North Peak and some of the Colorado’s best tree skiing in The Outback.

The snow's just getting started and with some of the great deals that are out there, you don't want to a Keystone ski holiday this winter!
Remember Keystone's participating in the $100 credit offer - just for booking 5 nights or more before December 15th.

See you on the slopes!

Revelation Bowl at Telluride Set to Make Its Debut

Telluride is known for some of the most exhilarating terrain in the Rocky Mountains and this season, with the introduction of Revelation Bowl, they plan on building on that reputation. The new area, just past Gold Hill, usually collects tons of snow in Tellurides growing expanse. Skiers will have access to extreme steeps or more gentle open areas with deep faces-hots guarrenteed! Last season saw the opening of Black Iron Bowl, Palmyra Peak and Gold Hill Chutes 6-10. This year's addition is sure to please.

Telluride plans to open later this month and the timing couldn't be better for the latest round of storms that have rolled through. Last week, they received 27 inches of snow and there is more snow forecast for this week. Can you hear the big boom of the Howitzer Cannon's? If you can, that is because there is already enough snow on the high terrain to do avalanche control work. With all this snow, the resort has released some great new specials.

Election Day Hits the Slopes in Ski Country

Every four years, a new president (or old one!) gets elected and the country seems to put things on hold until they see the outcome of the contest. It may be that next big purchase like a car, flat screen TV or even a vacation. Sometimes retailers will even show that the week after an election proves to be a great week of sales depending on the outcome. I think a fair comparison is to that of Groundhog day! If the country sees the presidents shadow, there will be four more years of spending!

How does this effect the ski industry? Many people will make much of their plans, but not pull the trigger on booking it until just after November 4th. How does the result effect how much powder they will be skiing in? The easy answer is it doesn't have anything to do with the powder you'll be skiing. If the ski resorts can't predict what kind of snow year it will be, how does the presidency have anything to do with it? My advice is to book your trip now because powder stashes are hard to come by!
