Homeowners in Keystone can sigh a bit of relief knowing that workers will begin removing dead lodge-pole pines on national forest around Keystone.

It will take three years and $1.4 million to thin the 1,000 acres planned, which is the second largest mitigation project in the nation.

It will take down trees in the forest, all the way down to the south side of Highway 6 near Frey Gulch and around Summit Cove and Swan Moutain Road, up to Sapphire Point. That will diminish the possibility of wildfires breaking out and destroying surrounding homes, because thinning makes it easier for firefighters to stop any fire before it spreads to residences.

Meanwhile, Keystone property owners are also taking care of dead trees on their lots.

By now, you’ve probably heard that Keystone’s new gondola in River Run shortens your walk from the parking lot to the slopes. The base of the gondola is near Green Light and the ski school offices, so you no longer have to cross that last bridge to get to the gondola. In addition to saving walking time, the gondola will also be 30-40% more energy efficient than the resort’s other lifts.

And, Keystone is putting in more than a new gondola. The latest development is called One River Run, located in what was the Hunki Dori parking lot. Construction will start on the west end and move east, creating 180 units that look (and serve people) like a luxury hotel. The complex will offer 1, 2, 3 and 4 bedroom units. Pre-sales should start in December, with groundbreaking in spring, 2009.

The Mountain House, the original base of Keystone, will also undergo a transformation, which will include 588 new properties.
