ABOUT CAT SKIING IN COLORADO EAST

An hour and a half outside of Denver, Keystone is a popular resort town of 1,100 people. It is located in Summit County and is one of the most in demand locations in this part of Colorado for outdoor activities like snowboarding, cross country skiing, ice skating, and alpine skiing. It also is a major draw for enthusiasts of cat skiing.

Nestled in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, Keystone receives more than 235 inches of powder snow each year. This snowfall begins as early as October and can continue into the spring months of March and April.

During the snowier times of the year, Keystone becomes a haven for skiers of all skill levels. Most cat skiers stay at the resorts and lodges in the area where they take part in guided excursions into the backcountry of the Rockies.

In fact, the town is located in the White River National Forest and is close to one of the largest ski areas in Summit County. The area spans three separate peaks, the tallest of which is almost 12,000 feet.
