"At Keystone, we’re all about having a whole lotta fun in the snow, whether that be skiing and riding, sliding and gliding, or one of the many magical ways you can explore our winter wonderland," the official website says..

"This year we're serving up fun for the whole family, with (...drum roll please...) not one but TWO on-mountain Snow Forts! That's right, we're not only bringing the magic of the Snow Fort back -- we're doubling it.
 

"Don’t miss the World’s LARGEST mountaintop snow fort at Dercum Mountain! The snow fort is the perfect stop before heading to a mountaintop tubing session, or is a fun way to enjoy our beautiful mountain while taking a break from the slopes. The nearby Summit House offers breakfast, lunch and snacks and hot chocolate for a fun afternoon of adventure. After your mountaintop adventure, head down towards our Mountain House base area and check our new Snow Fort for the kids to play while the parents pop into the Last Lift Bar for some après."

"Keystone Resort is a ski resort located in Keystone, Colorado, United States. Since 1997 the resort has been owned and operated by Vail Resorts. It consists of three mountains – Dercum Mountain, North Peak, the Outback – and five Bowls (Independence, Erickson, Bergman, North and South Bowls) offering skiing at all levels," the Wikipedia says.

"The three mountains are connected by a series of ski lifts and gondolas and access from two base areas called River Run and Mountain House.

"In the winter, Keystone offers night skiing, a five-acre resurfaced ice skating lake, sleigh rides and several fine-dining restaurants. In summer, Keystone provides lift access for mountain hiking, events and hundreds of miles of single-track mountain biking."

"Sitting at an elevation of more than 11,600 feet, with a 10,000-square-foot footprint and reaching heights of more than 30 feet tall, the World’s Largest Mountaintop Snow Fort lives up to its name. And this year, the Snow Fort returns to the top of Dercum Mountain with brand-new features and designs, including a frozen spiral slide, an ice cave, ice carvings and fun for guests of all ages," the Vail Resorts, Inc. (NYSE: MTN) says.

"The Snow Fort is now open daily and will remain open throughout the winter season for as long as the snow lasts. The World’s Largest Mountaintop Snow Fort was constructed by Snice Carvings LLC with support from Keystone’s Snowmaking and Mountain Operations department. The fort took approximately two weeks to construct.

"This year, Keystone is doubling the fun with a second Snow Fort experience in the Mountain House Base Area. With this new fun zone, kids will be able to play in the snow while parents pop into the nearby Last Lift Bar for après. Look for a second Snow Fort Experience to open in the early new year!"

"Sitting at an elevation of more than 11,600 feet, spanning 10,000 square feet and reaching heights of more than 30 feet tall, the World’s Largest Mountaintop Snow Fort lives up to the hype. And this year, the Keystone Snow Fort returns to the top of Dercum Mountain with brand-new features and designs, including a slide made entirely out of ice, ice carvings, a spiral tube slide that runs through the walls of the fort, four towers and an ice cave with handcrafted ice sculptures," the 303 Magazine reports.

"Led by playground pro, Keith Martin, alongside his team from Snice Carvings, the team assembled the massive fort in approximately two weeks. Martin and his team have been building the snow fort at Keystone for ten years now and says he looks forward to it every year.

"The sculpting team partners with Keystone’s Snowmaking and Mountain operations to create a one-of-a-kind experience for all ages to enjoy. A new design is created every year, making each build a new fun challenge and experience."

"Located on top of Dercum Mountain above 11,000 feet, the Snow Fort spans 10,000 square feet, featuring tunnels, ice caves, and slides," The Denver Gazette reports.



"Visiting the snow fort is free for all with a mountain access pass. While this includes a lift ticket for skiing, it can also come in the form of a scenic gondola ticket or a ticket for mountain top tubing.

"This year, the Dercum Mountain Snow Fort isn't the only fort at the resort. There's another fort at the Mountain House base area "for the kids to play while the parents pop into the Last Lift Bar for some après."

"Billed as the world's largest mountaintop snow fort, Keystone's Signature Snow Fort spans an impressive 10,000 square feet and features tunnels, ice caves, and even slides," the Only In Your State reports.

"After you visit the Fort, take some time to explore Dercum Mountain, as it is also home to ample tubing and skiing opportunities, plus tasty dining at the Summit House.

"In addition to the main Fort atop Dercum Mountain, Keystone has added a second structure, this one at the Mountain House base area. According to Keystone Resort, this second one is for the "kids to play while the parents pop into the Last Lift Bar for some après"!

"Absolutely a gem, with beautiful golf courses the river, and the meadow. Very friendly staff that seeks to make you happy and your time fun, Course goes up and down the mountain with one hole more beautiful than the next, It is a treasure."
