Kids rent free.
One junior ski rental at no charge for every adult who rents a Performance or Demo ski package. We'd rather grow the next generation of skiers than squeeze another forty dollars out of your family holiday.

Book outside these windows and the offer applies. Inside them, junior rentals are charged at the standard rate — and they're still the lowest in Keystone.
Advance online reservations are required
No exceptions, and it can't be added at the counter. Book the adult Performance or Demo package online and add the junior rental in the same reservation.
Getting a first-timer on snow at Keystone
Keystone is one of the better mountains in Colorado for a child's first day. The Schoolmarm green runs from the summit all the way to the base, which means a beginner gets a real top-to-bottom descent on day one rather than laps of a bunny hill.
Two practical notes from twenty years of fitting kids' boots. First, bring the socks they'll actually ski in — one thin pair, not two thick ones. Second, plan for the altitude: a nine-year-old at 9,400 feet gets tired and cranky faster than the same child at home, and a half day often produces a better skier than a full one.
Helmets aren't included in the free rental and we strongly recommend one — $12.50 a day.
