Walkway from Red Hawk to Gondola Open?

Question

I wanted to see if the walkway from Red Hawk condos/townhomes was open to the gondola?

Thanks!

Answer

The walkway from Red Hawk condos and townhomes to the Keystone gondola is a convenient route for guests wanting direct access to the ski lifts without driving or taking a shuttle. However, whether it is open can depend on the season, weather conditions, and any maintenance or construction projects at the resort.

Current status and considerations:

During the winter ski season, walkways in Keystone are generally maintained and cleared of snow, but icy patches or temporary closures can occur for safety reasons.
Resort staff may occasionally close portions of the walkway for construction, maintenance, or avalanche mitigation work. This is usually communicated via resort notices or posted signs.
If the walkway is closed, alternative access to the gondola is available via the shuttle service or walking along cleared paths connecting Red Hawk to the main village areas.
Walking from Red Hawk to the gondola is typically a 5–10 minute walk if the path is open and clear.

Tips:

Check with the Keystone Resort front desk or your Red Hawk property manager for the most up-to-date status before your trip.
Wear appropriate winter footwear, as even cleared walkways can be slippery in snow or ice conditions.
Plan extra time during peak arrival periods, as shuttle or gondola lines can be longer on busy weekends and holidays.

In summary, the Red Hawk walkway to the gondola is usually open in winter, but confirming in advance with resort staff ensures you have the latest information and can plan your access accordingly.
