ResortQuest Keystone Looks Forward to Opening of New Eight Passenger River Run Gondola for Keystone's 2008-09 Ski and Snowboard Season

Keystone, CO (PRWEB) April 2, 2008 -- The much anticipated opening of the River Run Gondola is slated for Keystone's 2008-09 ski and snowboard season. This marks the initial effort by Vail Resorts to improve on the guest experience at Keystone Resort (http://www.resortquestkeystone.com) and keep the mountain up to par with the ever increasing ski industry standards.

According to Pat Campbell, chief operating officer for Keystone, "The new River Run Gondola will represent the most significant on-mountain project at Keystone since the opening of the Outback Mountain in 1990 and will be the largest on mountain project for Vail Resorts next year."

According to Campbell, the new cabins for the gondola were designed with passenger comfort in mind with floor to ceiling windows providing the best possible view and with room to accommodate skis and snowboards inside the cabin. Additionally the new gondola will offer level walk-in heated load and unload stations to provide convenient access for wheel chairs, mountain bikes, strollers, sight seers, mountaintop tubing and night time dining guests.

The top terminal of the River Run Gondola will still be located at the summit of the Dercum Mountain but the base will be relocated to the River Run Village. Situated at the base of the River Run Village are many ResortQuest Keystone lodging (http://www.resortquestkeystone.com) options including, Red Hawk, The Springs, Lone Eagle (http://resortquestkeystone.com/rental/complex.html?User=RQKEY3634&ID=62) and The Timbers. This new addition makes it even more convenient for guests to enjoy the mountain.
