Summary:
Excellently maintained trails and world class gondola service for the bikes. Its intense in some places and easy enough for children to do in others (that is if they have a general knowledge of how to control a bike). East Forest's Corkscrew feature is cool. as. s....t..........

Recommended Route:
all of it and as much of it as you can.

Summary:
Fantastic place for technical DH with some skinnies.

For a downhiller:
Riding the top of the mountain (TNT/motorhead) is kind of lame. Rocky, some small 2-3 foot drops everywhere, nothing very exciting. Kind of old school DH, not much flow.

The bottom section is where it gets interesting. Even Flow/Wild Thing are fun on big bikes. There's some good turning drops and really tall wood sections. These make the area a place I enjoy going.

For the freerider: Everyone loves to talk about hitting the table tops on Money, but they really aren't very well built. It's a telling trail that's kind of a recurring theme on the mountain. The runs are a bit "classic" style and aren't super flowy.

Recommended Route:
Motorhead to Even Flow/Wild Thing

Summary:
Keystone will rock your world, I dont care who you are.

This place is great they have everything from some of the hardest downhill on earth to smoothe easy singletrack for beginners.

Now someone before mensioned the people there. He said they were pretty well all as**oles.

I disagree.

I was flying down a black, fell, and broke my collar bone. So me and my friend are sitting here in the middle of the mountain with our 40 pound rental downhillers (I have a badly broken collar bone, 5 inches seperated one side almost punctured my lung)
Here comes a group of what looked like very experienced downhill riders. The leader of the pack stops and ask if im allright. We tell him our situation and he leves his 4K downhiller on the side of the track and carries my bike up the mountain for me while my friend carries his. The bike is messed up to say the least. While im still in the hospitle another one of my friends takes it back to the bike shop and they gladly refund my money for the rental in spite of all the damage i did to the bike

as**oles?
I dont think so

Shure there are some stuck up guys everywhere, im not saying keystone is an exception but dont let a few bad apples ruin the barrel.

Recommended Route:
Cowboy up, TNT, I forgit their all so fun

Summary:
Keystone has stepped up the trail building. It has added several new trails including Motorhead and Paid In Full. Dont listen to people who say Keystone is chocked full of attitude. It isn't. The people are cool and the riders are cool too. Keystone hasn't fully brought the N. Shore to Colorado but It's trying. You might find interest in pics of these new trails in the Colorado Locals Forum. I can at least see major improvement in the effort put forth to draw MTB riders from all over to the Mountain. Keystone is leading the effort in Colorado to match some other resorts, but they have a long way to go. But in the Future, Expect greater things from Keystone.

Recommended Route:
Cowboy Up to Motorhead to Paid In Full to Wild Thing

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Loggers Way, TNT, Punk Rock

Summary:
Stay away from Cowboy Up and other blacks if you aren't riding a DH bike!

On my first run I thougt it would be cool to hit some blacks. Dont get me wrong, on my little 4.5 " travel trail bike I could ride all the tech sections at the top, but the kids on their $4K DH bikes were jumping them and being a**holes if you werent riding like 30mph. I ended up cutting through the woods onto some blue trail and basically stuck to blues and greens for the rest of the day.

Keystone is chock full of attitude, typical of summit county trustys with 4K or so to therow around on a bicycle.

If you're not super hardcore, stick to the blues and dont look anyone directly in the eye.

Recommended Route:
All the blues and greens are fun. Plenty of DH race course stuff on the blacks.
