The River Run Gondola is the premier lift at Keystone. They have invested a whole lot of money to make this better every year. Last year they moved it back on the North side of the river so you didn’t have to walk so far as this was probably their number one complaint resort wide. Now the terminal is right in the village and it’s quite easy to get on. They added a midway station so you could get back on this eight person gondola without going all the way back to the village. This is great when crowded because the lines can get quite long. The ski back is wider this year which will make getting back here much easier and convenient. This is a great lift because it offers everyone choices. The beginner has Schoolmarm or Ripparoo Road, or the Ranger lift at the top. The intermediate has a myriad of choices including my favorites; Wild Irishman or Frenchman. The advanced can go off the back with The Windows or Diamondback. All can get on the Outpost Gondola to get to the top of North Peak. You can also get to the terrain park from here.
