I ski on the East Coast and i have never been out west before, but this spring break i am going to Keystone for a few days. I can do 1s 3s and 5s of like 15-20ft jumps and i have moderately good rail skills. Am i gonna feel out of place at Keystone? Are there features for my ability level, or are they just huge ass jumps and rails? What are the sizes of the jumps in the big jump line? medium? ++K for help

Pretty much every other person at Keystone has an NS sticker somewhere on their person.  There will be plenty of guys to ride with and get you stoked to ski.  Their park is pretty good too.

Here's the scoop:

Keystone is FULL of pros. If a skier is not injured, he's skiing at keystone. Obviously, this is awesome cuz you get so see them and ride in the same park as them, but it can also be intimidating. Don't let their presence scare you. They're just out there chillin like you. They don't care if you fall or fail or anything. They're all super nice.

There are three parks and they have features ranging from absolute beginner to epicly large. And literally everything in between.

Just have fun. It's a super fun park.

yep true story, I dropped in right before Phil Casabon and totally racked my self, but he was super nice about it and asked if I was okay, which is chill. The worst part about it though was I was skiing by myself.
Fact- eating shit while skiing by your self sucks
