Keystone History

Keystone Resort is more than a ski and snowboarding destination, it's an adventure. It's more than a place; it's a way of life that compels everyone to try something new and discover their favorite Rocky Mountain adventure.

Keystone Resort was founded November 21, 1970 by Max and Edna Dercum. On November 21, 2003, Keystone inaugurated Founders' Day and renamed Keystone Mountain as "Dercum Mountain". The Dercums' passion, vision and commitment is found throughout the resort. From the early days, Keystone was known as an adventurous place where people came to be with friends and family. We still hold these principles true.

Along with the Dercums, Bill and Jane Bergman had a big hand in the development of Keystone Resort. Bill was the first president and organized the corporation of Keystone Resort. In recognition of his contribution, Keystone will rename Little Bowl as "Bergman Bowl". The dedication ceremony will be on March 15th, 2004 at 9:00am in the Plaza of River Run. Bergman Bowl is a part of Keystone's new terrain accessed by Keystone Adventure Tours.

Today Keystone Resort spans seven miles along the Snake River and encompasses three spectacular mountains - Dercum Mountain, North Peak and The Outback. Keystone also features award winning dining, vibrant villages, two championship golf course, Rocky Mountains' largest and most distinguished Conference Center and incredible lodging and guest amenities.
