TAKE AN UBER! We took the free bus but then had to hike about 2 miles uphill in snow to get to the center. The uber drives all the way to the parking lot of the center. read more

Terrific place for some snowshoeing with reasonable prices! Kara did an awesome job setting up our family and ensuring that our kids shoes were tight. We did the snowshoeing trail with our 7 and 4 year old and we all really enjoyed it. The staff is super friendly and the trail is very scenic as it is built around the golf course. We came back and had big cookies, a pretzel, and hot chocolates all around. This will be a very memorable experience for us and it didn't break the bank. read more

Staff was very rude and impatient. Others in the area will treat you better. Very unorganized on check in for lessons.

Staff was very friendly, however if you are going tubing you should know that there is only one singular hill that is quite small and there's no tow/magic carpet so you have to drag the tube up the hill every single time. It was $30 for one hour, but we left after only about 20 minutes because we were bored of the one skimpy hill and exhausted from dragging it up every round. Not worth it! read more

Perimeter loop for snowshoeing is great . Staff is friendly and helpful. Never done it before, will do it again. read more

First time skate skiing, the women here handling the rentals were awesome and full of personality. Made for a memorable day of trying a new sport. The gear seemed new and the track was well-groomed. read more

I did the guided 4 hour mountain snowshoeing trip. Randy was my guide. It was a lot of fun, and I appreciated the educational aspects of the tour. Randy shared info about animal tracks, avalanche safety, and a bit of the history of the area. The tour was $90, which included the pass for the Keystone gondola. The trek itself was around 3 hours with several breaks. The scenery was stunning. This is a fantastic outing for non-skiers, and a really good workout! Definitely dress in layers, and don't wear cotton...some folks in our group wore jeans under their snow pants and they weren't comfortable. You do work up a sweat, but when you stop you can chill easily. I think you can rent boots, but my waterproof hiking boots worked well in the snowshoes. read more

Friendly staff with a laidback atmosphere. Renting one set of gear for the day(Nordic skis or snowshoes) will allow you to try the other set for free anytime that day. Also if you're there before 2pm check out their unlimited homemade soup bar...very good. Finally if your looking for fun with the kids they have tubes you can rent for some old-school tubing. read more

I needed something to do while my husband and son had fun whooping down the mountain on their skis as I'm a big hater of snow sports. I did some research as the only options were to: 1) sleep in the hotel room all day 2) shop at the Silverthorne Outlet Malls all day 3) take a Summit County Brewery Van Tour which includes going to Backcountry Brewery and drinking beer, then going to Breckenridge Distiller to drink their vodka and bourbon, then heading off to a marijuana place to get lit, then sing karaoke in their van! I'm too old to be mixing drinks and marijuana. I'd probably barf on their karaoke machine or sing so badly I'd make other people barf. I chose the Keystone Nordic Center for their snowshoe rental. They say "if you can walk, you can snowshoe!" That's my kind of speed. There were several tours offered at different times but I felt like getting lost on my own, and boy, did I. Snowshoe rental cost around $23, the trail pass $15, bottled water $3.00 and the Power Bar $2.00 because I forgot to pack those things as I was planning on being out ALL day. I actually walked from 0930 to 1530 in the snow, cursing at times. They give you a map but I've found different people will give you different information, which is helpful. The nice man at the counter told me I could walk all the way to the Keystone Bowls if I wanted to. The nice lady later in the afternoon told me the only snow shoe trail is marked in orange, which the man did not tell me. I'm glad she told me this, because otherwise I would have walked on the black and green trails and pissed off the skiers. If you stay on the Nordic Center property, there is no way you can get lost as the trail is marked with orange tape on the trees. The total snow shoe trail is only 2 miles and takes about 45-60 minutes to do for an average adult, double that time if you have small kids. It makes a nice loop called the "Perimeter Trail" and it starts at the Center and ends at the Center. If you get bored with that, you can rent an inner tube to go snow tubing. Go early though, I heard a lady say she was on a wait list for the tubing. You just have to walk the tube back to the top. I actually had to wander off the property to get to this trail that goes to the Keystone Bowls, which was about 5 or 6 miles. I did get lost as I ended up on the Aqueduct Trail, which is part of the National Forest property, but a nice man in cross-country skis talked me out of going to the Bowls as that was super far and I'd have to use a service road, which involves vehicles, no thanks. The rest of the trail was dotted with yellow streaks and dog poo, which was crappy, because I couldn't really step over it as the bottom of the snow shoe would thwack the top of the snow. There was also a section of the trail that smelled like sewer, which was really gross and out of place, since the trail was so serene and peaceful. I walked about 8 miles that day. The only place you can really rest to sit down is a cool hut on the Nordic Center property along the Perimeter Trail. There's a memorial up there too. If you are hungry, there's a soup kitchen off to the side of the office. It's $11.00 for three different types of soup and bread (all you can eat). There's also a bar that serves beer and wine. The people at the Nordic Center are super duper friendly. I really love them. My husband had to pick me up late and the Center officially closes at 1600 but she told me I could wait inside to avoid the freezing cold. TIPS: - it gets super crowded at times, so go early. - pack your own water and protein bars if you are going to snow shoe or be out all day. - dress in layers. Even in the snow I got really hot and had to lug around my ski jacket, hat and gloves. - they don't have lockers but can hold onto your stuff if you want. read more

Returned our tubes right on time at 11:30. Some employee came out and yelled at us because our kids were still playing in the nearby snow a few minutes later. Not a great experience. Also beware they do not have a tow, be prepared to be walking up the hill each time. read more

Cross country skiing at the keystone Nordic center is a great experience! The staff are friendly and helpful, their rental equipment is new in 2019/2020 and great quality. They have fun runs, like "Easy Does It" which has flats, hills, bridges and streams, as well as beautiful views. Once you get back from your skiing, you can sit back and have some deliciously hot soups (endless bowl), hot chocolate and cookies. It's a great ending to a great outing. Be ready for a workout and remember that cross country skiing gets you pretty hot so you might not need as many layers as you think. read more

The staff was not friendly. I signed paperwork to go tubing with my children and the woman who was helping me walked out and didn't even finish the paperwork. The other staff finished helping me. As I was walking with my children to pick up the tube the first woman asked who we were and where I thought I was going. I told her that she was just helping me, however she did not even bother to look up at me or finish checking me in. The tubing hill was a joke, especially for $20 an hour. Would have been a lot more fun to go to one of the free sledding hills nearby. read more

During a conference in Keystone resort, I joined a snowshoe tour hosted by this Nordic center. Usually $50 (snowshoe rental + guided tour), but if you are an attendee at conference center, it is $40. The tour is around 1.5-2 hours near the nordic center. Probably 1.5-2 miles. The guide Marty was really knowledgeble and told us geology/plants/animal in Colorado. I usually don't like guided tour for outdoor, but it was my first time to snowshoe, so it was great. Only rental is $24, so tour is not a bad deal. I forgot sunglasses but I can borrow gorgle for free. She was nice. Soup bistro luch is available in the center ($10), 3 kinds of soup, all you can eat. read more

Nice place to rent and go xc ski or snowshoe. It's not the big though but great for beginners. The snowshoe trail is about 2 miles and goes around the property. You can go off the property though and hike out onto USFS land forever. Ski trails criss cross the golf course. After 2 hours you can do every trail even as a reasonable beginner. Experts can do it much quicker. There is a small cafe which serves several kinds of soups and hot dogs. There is also a tubing area for kids. Xc ski lessons available too. read more

My friends and I were in Dillon this past weekend and had quite the experience snow tubing for the first time! The ladies at the front desk were so nice and helpful every step of the way. Snow tubing ranges $18/hour to rent three tubes. They had three different slopes to go down ranging from beginner, intermediate, to hard (i.e. the hill was more steep so you can ease your way into it the best you see fit). They also serve hot chocolate at the bar so you can come inside and warm up afterwards! Definitely will be back if I'm ever in the area! read more

I wanted to try snowshoeing. Took the eco tour for those who didn't need to have any experience. Randy was our guide. Super informative - learned about the ecology, animals, history, etc. Great for beginners - you will stop often but the scenery is worth it. Had soup after in the Bistro. Great day. read more

Me, my family and two other families went here during spring break and it was our first time to be around in the mountains. The staff were really nice and accommodating. They suggested very well and the price were all reasonable! I would always recommend a lot of my friends to come up here and for sure we're coming back with them again! read more

Avoid this nordic center! Super rude staff angry I had a Groupon and my own equipment. Bland trail around a golf center. No views, poor grooming. I wanted to leave meeting the rude staff member that was angry I had a Groupon while yelling at tubers. The tubing hillvwas a joke as were the trails. read more

Really friendly staff and guides. The snowshoe gears were good and the process to get them was fast. For the guided, top-of-the-mountain tour, there was a slight hike up the mountain. It was hard but the view at top made it worth the hike. read more

I had a wonderful day here. Friday January 19th I spent most of my day here. I took a snowshoe tour with Randy in the morning. Returned to the lodge and had some wonderful soup then in the afternoon took a private cross country skiing lesson with Edie. This was my first time snowshoeing and cross country skiing. They were both great, with the cross country being harder but still fun. Randy had so many facts and history to share about the area in the tour. Edie was a fantastic instructor walking me through each step and encouraged me the whole time. Thanks for a great day! I will be back. -Terri read more

Did their 'Ladies' Day' special on a Friday which included a one hour cross country lesson, lunch at the soup buffet and 2-hour snowshoe tour in the afternoon. Edie was our instructor and was very patient, descriptive in her coaching and made it fun for all. Randy was our guide for the snowshoeing and added so much to the hike with history of the area, geology, discussion of plant life and animals. Would highly recommend for someone wanting to try out these two activities. The views are spectacular. Parking is available. Will definitely be back! read more

You can buy a pair of snowshoes for what they charge here to rent them for 2 days.

My wife and I took the beginner Nordic skiing class. Our instructor was awesome. We started with really super basics and built up till we were very comfortable. The lesson included a day pass and we took off and did an easy loop. It was a great time and I can't wait to do more cross country skiing. read more

I live in Summit County but have some friends come in this week for a ski vacation. They had done two days of downhill skiing but wanted to try something different and a little less dangerous. We decided to go snow shoeing and loved it! The staff was super helpful, friendly, and full of great advice. If you're looking for a slower paced break from downhill skiing, I highly recommend the Keystone Nordic Center! read more
