Love on the Lifts Gondola Speed Dating Returns to Keystone Resort this Valentine's Day
KEYSTONE, Colo. — Feb. 10, 2014 —Love is in the air, and on the snow, this Valentine’s Day at Keystone Resort, with the second-annual Love on the Liftsspeed dating event set for Friday, Feb. 14. Keystone will once again give singles the chance to meet their perfect match with a series of 11-minute speed dates aboard the River Run Gondola. Participants will enter through the “singles” line, an industry norm for skiers and riders enjoying the mountain solo, and be matched for a ride to the mountain’s summit. Once they reach the top of Dercum Mountain, newly matched singles can choose to spend the day together, enjoying the more than seven feet of fresh snow Keystone has received since Jan. 1. Following a powder-filled day across the resort’s 3,148 acres, would-be loves can reconnect at the evening’s Valentine’s Party at 9280’ Taphouse in River Run Village. The match-making fun begins at 10 a.m. at the base of the River Run Gondola.
For those that have already found love, Keystone Resort offers plenty of ways to celebrate this Valentine’s Day. After a day on the slopes enjoying Keystone’s signature tree skiing, majestic bowls or perfectly manicured groomers, couples can choose to partake in the resort’s “Savor the Slopes” event, a month-long rotating showcase featuring the best of Keystone’s signature restaurants. This week’s events are dedicated to wines, and loved ones can learn more about delicate and delicious French wines at Friday’s “A Taste of French Wine” at the Keystone Ranch. Reservations are required and may be made by calling 970-496-4386. All Savor the Slopes events begin at 4:30 p.m. and are just $25 per person.

Other romantic après options include a fireside beverage at the stunning Ski Tip Lodge, sipping original cocktails at the Tenderfoot Lounge or snuggling aboard a horse-drawn sleigh. For those looking to avoid crowded dining rooms on Friday evening, a romantic lunch for two at the stunning Alpenglow Stubeis a perfect alternative. Sweethearts will enjoy a two or three-course menu prepared by our talented culinary team in the mountaintop dining room, offering near panoramic views of Keystone’s winter wonderland. A crackling fire greets diners, who are offered a pair of warm, fuzzy slippers to relax in during their culinary adventure.
