Equipment rentals:
KEYSTONE RESORT
Keystone Sports, where they have "Great Gear, Great Service, and Great People" offers discounts of up to 30% on ski & snowboard equipment rentals when attendees book online any time prior to rental pick up, at: www.rentskis.com/ksymposia. Rentals may be kept for multiple days and will follow the guest's lift ticket purchase, i.e.: purchase for "2 of 3 days." Guests are encouraged to book in advance because not only is it easier for those booking and paying but when you arrive to pick up your rentals, the line is shorter for those with advanced reservations, the discount is bigger, and there are more staff dedicated to these customers.
Guests without a reservation can still receive up to a 20% discount on-site when they mention they are with Keystone Symposia. Attendees should pick up rentals no later than 7pm the night prior to skiing, and free overnight storage of rental equipment is available at all three Ski Rental Shop locations.

Snowshoeing
|
|
MOUNTAIN TOUR: There is no better way to experience the winter beauty of the Rocky Mountains than with a pair of snowshoes strapped to your feet. Keystone Resort's snowshoe trek is perfect for non-skiers, skiers and first time snowshoers. Start by taking the Gondola to the top of Dercum Mountain, strapping on snowshoes and hiking, with a guide, to Bergman's Bowl.
ECO TOUR on snowshoes - a great way to learn about the area, nature, history, mining times and life in the mountains. Also a good workout in a non-threatening way. Novices welcome. (minimum age is 7 years old). Tour is about 2.5 miles over level terrain and very educational. Tour takes approximately 2.5 hours. Add hot soup lunch buffet to this package for an additional charge.
**At meetings where snowshoeing tours are available, sign up sheets will be located on the message board at the meeting.
