An absolute blast. Never been downhilling, but heard how great Keystone was, checked it out over the weekend. I've never had that much fun on a mountain bike before. I tend to think ski trail ratings are pretty bogus, but downhill trail ratings aren't at all. Greens are real good singletrack, little rocky, little rooty, pretty long. Blues are a little steeper, bigger rocks, tougher lines. Blacks are amazing, they've got stunts and features in them in addition to being steep, having rock gardens, roots, etc. Double blacks are super tough, some with huge features (13' corkscrew for example). Anything you catch air off of is set up perfectly, no awkward take offs, real smooth landings. I've never felt that comfortable getting pretty decent air on a bike before. The Money trail is awesome, tons of table tops. East Forest has the corkscrew, great trails leading down to it also (Paid in Full, TNT). Highly recommend going here, just a ton of fun. Day pass is $35, but if you've got a season ski pass, knocks the price down to $25. Don't recommend doing it on a hardtail, wouldn't be to much fun. I've got 6" of travel and I bottomed it out a few times.

even though this is a downhillers paradise, its a good ride up as well. Take the greens up (Easy Street>Sleepy Hollow>Bluegrass>Celtic Way>Let It Ride>Suz's Cruise>Girl Scouts) About 7 miles, 2500 ft gain. Then you've earned your cruise down.

The trail crew at Keystone is doing a great job with maintence and building new trail and features. There are too many awsome trails to list with great features like gap jumps, tables, ladder drops, ladders, and well made, fast berms. This is mostly a bike park. If you want to climb(you may get run over), I'd recommend another area, there are tons in Summit and Eagle county

Similar Trail: Sol Vista, Winter Park, Vail, Breck(next year)

This place is a downhiller's paradise. If you want to ride up the trail be careful, the people who generally ride here are not used to people going up. Out of about 25 people going down the trail only 1 yeilded for me. Many folks are visitors enjoying the luxory of taking the chairlift up and "riding" down the trail. Most are in over there head as they have never ridden a real mountain trail before and are fooled by keystone's green trail rating. The green trails are not steep but they are rooty, rocky and long. Blue trails are about the same but add a fair amount of steepness. The black trails...I did not feel like getting run over this particular day so I did not bother. I really wanted to see the "drop zone" but getting home in one peice overrode my curiosity.

If your into downhilling or freeriding then Keystone should be on your trail list! This place is a blast to ride! If your a first timer to Keystone try to go with someone that has riddin it before that way they can let you know what to expect on the trails up there. I really haven't ridden the XC trails except for a couple of small sections so I can't give a good review on them but for the couple of sections I did ride they were a blast and I've also been told by a few of my friends that the XC trails are a lot of fun too. Also bring a camera (just make sure you pack it good, you don't want to break it if you happen to crash)! There's a lot of great scenery up there!

You'd think just cruisin downhill would be easy, but with the rocks and roots on the trails make it a real challenge. Be prepared to get jostled around and have front suspension at a minimum. These trails are fun and fast with some pedaling required.
