2015 March Keystone Night Ride

Weekday after work night riding at Keystone Resort were some of my favorite evenings back in 2015 when I still had a pass. The drive wasn’t too bad provided you didn’t encounter a ton of traffic or get stuck in a snowstorm.

My partner and I would often travel up i70 after work for a quick run or two at Keystone, one of the only resorts close enough with night riding as an option.

When conditions are good and not icy you can have a blast cruising down night runs until the final call ending in the dark. Typically there was minimal traffic allowing you to have the whole run to yourselves or shared with very few other riders or skiers. 

This evening was great and a super fun outing skipping the crowds!
