Snowboarding Profile

Snowboarding is available on all trails. The terrain park formerly known as Area 51 has undergone a massive overhaul. Last year, the terrain park got a new name (A51), a new location (Pack Saddle Bowl) and new features (new rails and a new Superpipe). The A51 Terrain Park tripled in size last season. The park continues to evolve this season with new fun boxes, more hits and a new beginner park called A51 Incubator. One thing that won’t change is Keystone’s bragging rights as Colorado’s largest and only night park. It's one of the largest night parks in the country.
