Keystone is in the heart of the scenic Rocky Mountain Range at 9,400 feet with nearby roads approaching 12,000 feet. At this elevation, there is only 66% of the oxygen found at sea level. Staying active is never hard to do in “Colorado’s Playground”, but acclimating can be.  Majority of the visitors will get use to the elevation within a couple of days. For others, it may take several weeks. Since most travelers to the high country are here for only a few days, acclimation may or may not happen. Altitude Sickness symptoms include, headaches, nausea, vomiting, difficulty sleeping, loss of appetite, fatigue, rapid pulse, shortness of breath and diarrhea. By following a few tips, one can lessen the effects of high altitude.

1. Stay hydrated. Not only are we high in elevation, but our environment is fairly dry. Dehydration can happen a lot faster than most people think. We recommend replacing electrolytes thru sports drinks, pedialyte, or the best stuff is Emergen-C.
2. Take it easy your first day.
3. Limit/avoid alcohol intake. Most people don’t realize that 1 alcoholic beverage at 9,000 feet is equivalent to 2 at sea level.

Vail resorts (Keystone, Breckenridge, A-Basin, Vail and Beaver Creek) will offer the deepest discounts on lift ticket but they need to be purchased well ahead of time. Visit snow.com for details.

1. Please bring your reservation confirmation.
2. The socks you plan on wearing when you are on the slopes. (This will help us get you into a correct fitting boot)
3. A credit card for a security imprint for the rented equipment.
4. A valid I.D. that matches the credit card. (A gift card from Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express will not work for a security imprint).
5. Your enthusiasm for winter and summer outdoor activities.

Yes. However, we are required to do a binding test on your skis to make sure the bindings are working properly. With a boot rental, the binding test will be 50% off the normal cost of $20.  Bindings that are more than 6 years of age are usually no longer indemnified.  Thus, we will not be able to rent you just boots.  Remember, if your skis seem a little older we have the most current and up to date technology available at the best discounted prices in Keystone to rent with your boots!

We all hope so, but we are not weather forecasters. For the best local weather go to summitdaily.com snow.com or www.noaa.gov (our zip code is 80435) for up to date local weather reports.

MVS policy is that as long as the rental equipment is out you will be charged for it. If you would like to take a day off, you may return the equipment, and receive a refund (if you have extra days left on your rental). You will then have to come back, fill-out the paperwork again and re-rent equipment for the rest of the days you would like the equipment. Or, especially during our peak season, we recommend simply paying for the extra days if you are using the equipment or not. Remember, we do have the lowest rental rates in Keystone!
