Let the experienced Keystone Adventure Tour guides make your first run down Independence Bowl, Keystone's newest expert-only terrain, a memorable one.
During the season, Keystone Adventure Tours offer two guided tours daily through this exhilarating bowl. Each tour comes complete with lunch at the Independence Bowl Hut catered by the Alpenglow Stube – which you're certain to need after making laps in this powder.
Please note that, while highly trained, KAT guides are not ski instructors; these tours are for expert skiers and riders who are accustomed to and adept in powder and trees. If you'd like to learn the art of powder skiing – or hone your skills before striking out in this territory – it is recommended that you purchase a lesson with the Ski & Ride School, which has instructors for every level (not just beginners).
If you're in doubt of your abilities, feel free to take a Mountain-Top Snowcat Tour first to scope out the terrain, and talk with the profesional staff about your skill level and comfort in deep powder.
Included in your guided tour is a lunch experience at the Independence Hut.
