Localism: River Run Keystone Colorado Resort

Keystone's Colorados River Run

Keystone's River Run village was the brain child of developers and planners from both Vail Resorts and Intrawest, the country's biggest ski industry companies. By combining commercial property (shops and restaurants with residential living) a cozy ski village emerges.

The units in the River Run area have views of the ski slopes or the continental divide. Some have views into the village squares surrounding the buildings, where you can sit and watch the happenings below.
