Going in February - this was very helpful. Thank you. I was at Keystone last in 1992!

SRG, thanking you for sharing all your Insider Guides to Ski Resorts. I probably have watched at least a dozen of them so far!

We'll be staying at Breck, but want to ski at Keystone once or twice this March. Not liking long hikes from the parking lot to the lockers inside the lodge with all our gear, where would you suggest we park for the shortest walk?

If there is a size-able line at Montezuma on a weekend, it’s almost always faster to bypass it, go down Jaybird/Dercum’s Dash (or Schoolmarm/Ina’s Way if you can’t do blues) and take the Summit Express lift. I was a lift operator there last year and almost never used Montezuma.

If you are adept at groomed blues, try going down Flying Dutchman, then Beger (which is groomed like 70% of the time, check the app on the day you visit), and then Dercum’s Dash. It’s usually quick, full frontside laps with minimal wait.

Can you park for free near the Peru express? If so, how long is the walk compared to the walk from the River Run lot to the gondola/Summit lift?

[Brokenrose]

Never Ski in my life. Coudl you please tell me how long usually take ski from the top to bottom? I mean using the green highlighted in yellow line. Thank you so much!!

[natalia]

Are the gondolas included with the epic pass?

[gogreenmsu]

Schoolmarm may be bad, but I think Cinch at Beaver Creek is worse. I always recommend beginners download to avoid skiing it, especially with so many other options.

Bruh Drunken Frenchman is at Winter Park. This Frenchman has always been just Frenchman.

[joshgarcia]

I'm staying in Breckenridge but looking for an area that us first timers can try without having to pay for ski lift. Do you know of any areas?

[joshuasavoy]

Would you recommend another resort that is suited for a 10 year old learning to ski for first time with less crowders greens? I’m an intermediate skier and her mother is a beginner.
