The 25th Annual
Children's' National Medical
Center Symposium ECMO & Advanced Therapies for Respiratory Failure
Keystone, Colorado, USA February 22 – 26, 2009 |
Skiing, Riding and Snow sports
are by far the biggest draw at Keystone. Single or Multiple-Day
Lift Tickets offer a Three-Mountain Pass for Keystone, Breckenridge
and Arapahoe Basin. With a 3-Day lift ticket, you can also ski one
of those days at Vail or Beaver Creek. The ECMO meeting has a special
group rate for lift tickets. Proceed to the Group Ticket office
in the Keystone Base area: you can find it in the back of the building
where lift tickets are sold. Group tickets are only available at
the Keystone base area, the Group office is behind the walk-up Lift
Ticket window in front of the Mountain House (not avail abel at
River Run). Tell them that you are with the ECMO meeting, use the
group code CM0EC08, and get the group rate of $75
per day for 1 to 3 days, $70 per day for a four day pass. Lift Tickets
are also available at Gart Sports (on the left as you leave Dillon).

Health Alert:AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness) is a result of rapid ascent from low to high elevations, and it explains why Giles Peek is the way he is. Seriously, Pulmonary and Cerebral Edema resulting from this can be fatal. Here is a general information link on Altitude Sickness, which is worth reading. Keystone is at 9,500ft and the Breckenridge summit is nearly 13,000 ft. Be kind to yourself and get in shape early. Drink plenty of water prior to and while in Keystone. Cut your consumption of alcohol and caffeine, too. You will have more fun if you feel good.

River Run is located right at the base of the mountain, while Keystone Village runs along the shore of Keystone Lake. With gondolas, hot tubs, a swimming pools, shops, art galleries, restaurants, great coffee shops and ice skating rinks, they are a certain crowd pleaser. 
Everything you need to know about fun in and around the snow. Cross country skiing, sleigh rides, hockey, ice skating, yoga, snow shoeing, guided mountain tours, full moon tours, lunch treks, snowmobiling, ecology tours, racing, tubing, snowbiking...
