" ji .!' 1. py'TMr KEYSTONE. Colo. (AP) It's cold. Not bitterly cold, but there's a noticeable difference in the crisp winter air when the sun drops behind the mountains. Standing at the summit of Keystone, a ski resort about 75 miles west of Denver, you can see the stadium sta-dium lights along the trails begin to illuminate the snow when most other resorts are shutting down for the evening. Night skiing and snow-boarding snow-boarding here is an experience like no other. Looking across the valley, you can barely see the outline of the mountains below a clear, starry sky. "There's more of a quietness," said Kevin Harrell, vacationing in Keystone recently from St. Louis. "It's just kind of a surreal kind of thing." Chilly night air drives many people to warmer places at night, and there is a distinct absence of ski school classes, which is exactly what draws some people to the slopes and terrain park at night. "There's not a lot of gapers, people peo-ple who don't know how to ski," said 'I aimer Towe, who works at the resort's tubing hill. "It brings a lot of people in because nobody else has it around here. So you get people out there skiing and boarding that are out there to have a good time." Besides the lack of crowds, skiing after the sun goes down allows more time for skiers and snowboarders to wear themselves out before hitting the hot tub, bars or bed. The night skiing operation at Keystone, open Wednesday through Sunday most weeks, allows skiers to fit in 1 1 hours of skiing in a day, versus ver-sus seven hours at other resorts. "I know when I go skiing at other resorts, I have to start skiing at 8 or 9 (in the morning) and ski until 4," said 'Iliomas Zimmer, a fourth-year ski patroller at Keystone. "Here, you can start at 11, and you're not going to lose a whole day. "You ski until about 3 or 4, go in for a little meal, and then come back out about 5 or 6 and get a bunch more skiing in." Runs icing over isn't a big prob-' lem, Zimmer said, because the resort grexnns several runs each evening from top to bottom, including Spring Dipper, a gentle greenblue run, and the resorts signature trail. River Run. Each night whether spent hitting the terrain park, racing laps down groomed cruises or exploring a Cn II I II I n OTffituiiJt& V, IPJT EVERYTHING!

"I like that everything's open at night," said Jake Black, 15, a member mem-ber of the Keystone Junior Team. He competes in half-pipe and slope style, in which competitors are judged for their freestyle runs through a terrain park. Blacks brother Zack, 13, said night skiing beats the alternative. "It's really fun, and it's a good way to spend your night instead of sitting in front of the 'IV." Lift rides can get cold, but Keystone keeps its enclosed gondolas gondo-las operating to give night skiers and boarders a chance to warm up between runs. Extra clothing also helps. "Some nights it's clear and warm, so what you wear during the day is sufficient for night skiing," Zimmer said. "Sometimes it can be a little colder, so an extra layer is good." Clear goggles also are important impor-tant for visibility. Zimmer added. One of the nighttime hot spots at Keystone is the newly expanded A51 terrain park. 'Hie resort recently moved the park to a new area and tripled its size. Among some of the park's 51 new rails and funboxes. which are raised surfaces for skiers and boarders to slide across, are the 16-foot Rockstar Funboxes, the 150-foot Buck Fifty rail and the infamous 50-foot BBQ Rail, an arching ride pumped with propane and lit on fire. "I like coming out on nice, warm nights and it's all park," said Julian Lamarche. a ski patroller who welds rails for the resort during the offseason. offsea-son. The snow in the park can change throughout the day due to the position of the sun, Lamarche said. "But at night, the lights are always in the same place, so the park is really consistent." The' park can get busy during the day, but not many people are out at night, he said. Taking advantage of Keystones late hours provides most night skiers and snowboarders with an experience experi-ence unmatched by sunlit slopes. Britney Harrell, 9, who accompanied accompa-nied her dad and older sister on their vacation from St. Louis, liked night skiing. "I think it's axil to ski and kxk at the moon and the stars," she said. Her father also was impressed. "It's not so much about the skiing, but more about the experience," Kevin Harrell said.
