Need an excuse to get up to the mountains? Try Keystone’s first-ever Winter Culinary Festival, featuring tastings, classes and seminars beginning today and continuing through Sunday. Highlights include a martini tasting, an ice carving demonstration, a culinary-trends seminar and a chocolate class. The festival is headlined by the Grand Tasting Lodge, where gondolas will take patrons to the Outpost on North Peak for a sampling from Keystone’s best restaurants, such as Keystone Ranch, Ski Tip Lodge, Alpenglow Stube and more. The Grand Tasting Lodge is $100 per person, with other events ranging from free to $75 per person; many are only $5 a pop.
