Thanks to help from Mother Nature last week, Keystone Resort announced it will open earlier than planned, on Thursday, November 5. The resort will open with top-to-bottom skiing and snowboarding served by the River Run Gondola with the Spring Dipper and River Run trails as well as the beginner skier learning area at the Gondola mid-station.

Keystone will also open  one jump and more than 20 features at A51 Terrain Park, the No. 2 ranked park in North America by Transworld Snowboarding Magazine.
