Keystone with some first timers

Some people we knew from my home state were in town one weekend and asked us to accompany them for their first time snowboarding. We drove up one morning for a day of riding at Keystone. Unfortunately with first timers this often means more waiting on the slope than actual riding.

We had stellar conditions with some snow and fresh powder and scenic dreamy white runs. Despite not getting much actual riding in it was a great day at Keystone enjoying some light powder and quiet easy runs on the mountain.

Never a bad day in the mountains!
