I am heading to keystone March 25-29. I will be skiing for 3 days and I was just wondering how long the lines will be, also any recommendations on the best lifts at keystone. Anything helps

Best lift A-51. Lines usually aren't too horrible over spring break. I'm not sure what parts of the country have spring break that week though so it really depends. It's at its worst when it's Texas spring break or Colorado spring break.

Don't go to keystone. Drive 3 minutes up the pass to a basin. Much better skiing.

Keystone is normally better off as far as spring break crowds go. Breckenridge is an absolute nightmare during spring break!

Lift wise obviously A-51 lift if you want to ride park. Otherwise Outback lift and Hike North/South/Puma Bowls, or hike Erikson/Bergman bowl off of the outpost from Santiago lift.

Pretty much everything that's been said is good info.

I've taken a trip to Summit the last week of March for 3 seasons now. When I skied Key I skied park pretty much exclusively, because the park is dope af. If you want to ski anything other than park go to A-Bay. The vibe there is right, the skiing is better, and overall its a damn good time.

Whatever you do avoid Breck at all costs, that place is a kook zoo.
