Beginner Skiing at Keystone
Keystone is a resort that is made for beginners just as much as it is made for advanced skiers and riders. Almost the entire front side of this ski resort is covered with beginner ski trails. Check out the details and photos below of Keystone's easiest, funnest and coolest beginner ski trails.
Some of Dercum Mountain (Keystone's main mountain) has some blue square ski trails that are intended for intermediate skiers, but these are still relatively easy ski trails.
When you first exit the River Run Gondola, Summit Express quad chair, or the Montezuma Express; ski to your right and head down Schoolmarm (Pictured Above). This is beginner ski trail that you can ski all the way to the bottom of Keystone, or you can use it to gain access to some of the other beginner ski trails.
From the top of the mountain (by following Schoolmarm briefly) you can ski down a trail called: Toads. This will intersect with Spring Dipper about half way down the mountain and this is another way for beginners to ski down the mountain.

If you are a beginner be sure to avoid some of the black diamond trails that are located underneath of the Peru Express quad chair. Expert trails like Last Hoot are too steep for most beginners to ski down.
Check out my list of the best ski resorts for beginners in Colorado. There is plenty of expert skiing in the Rocky Mountains, but there is also lots of ski resorts that are designers for beginner skiers.
Beginner Ski Lesson Zones
The area below is located at the top of the Schoolmarm trail just as you get off of any of the ski lifts at the top of Dercum mountain. Beginners can easily access this area from the River Run Gondola with no difficulty. Tehre is also similar beginner ski areas at the gondola mid-station and the Mountain House base area.
