A51 Terrain Park - One of the most Progressive Terrain Parks in Colorado

Located in the White River National Forest just an hour from Denver, Keystone is home to three magnificent mountain playgrounds: Dercum Mountain, North Peak, and The Outback. With the best terrain park in the state, an award-winning 'A51 Terrain Park' situated on Dercum Mountain makes this place a favorite destination not only for snowboarders. At 11,640 feet, the mountain offers long green and blue runs and perfect groomers to keep you cruising all day long. And if that wouldn't be enough, the resort also offers night skiing so you can keep carving turns even after the sun goes down, or you can get up early and take a hike to the top of Keystone Peak and grab some first tracks in deep powder. Check it out.

A51 Terrain Park – named one of the best in North America

If rails and fun boxes are more your thing than slopes and bowls, Keystone is your top playground. For the daring, on 60 acres, A51 Terrain Park invites you to really show off your skills. Named top-ranked parks by Freeskier and Transworld Magazines, this is the place to be for shredders and jibbers with plenty of jib features. The park is always in an excellent condition, the same park crew that builds Dew Tour and winter X-Games parks makes sure the park is always groomed and changing. And, it’s Colorado’s only night park; you can watch the sun set over the beautiful Rocky Mountains before getting in a few more runs till 8pm (editor's note: weather permitting).
