Next to Loveland, Keystone is probably the closest resort to Denver. It is probably one of the best as well. Less expensive and touristy than Vail, it still has very goos facilities. It also has a gondola for those of you that either dont handle chairlifts very well, or just want to stay the hell out of the wind. If it weren't for the Copper Fourpass, this would probably be my resort of choice.
