First Tracks & Breakfast
at Keystone Ski Resort
About the Event
Celebrate BOEC’s 50th anniversary with an unforgettable morning on the mountain.
As BOEC marks 50 years of transforming lives through outdoor adventure, this First Tracks and Breakfast experience offers one of the most memorable ways to join the celebration. Guests will enjoy private early lift access and untouched morning slopes before the public arrives—a rare opportunity to have Keystone virtually to themselves.
After carving through fresh runs, attendees will gather at the Summit House for a gourmet breakfast and an inspiring keynote from Willie Stewart, BOEC alumnus, Paralympian, and champion for inclusive outdoor recreation. The morning continues with an optional guided ski experience led by BOEC instructors and participants, offering a firsthand look at the power and joy of adaptive skiing.
We invite you to be part of this meaningful moment in BOEC’s history and help carry our mission forward. Join us on the morning of December 19th at 7 AM.

Meet Keynote Speaker Willie Stewart
Willie’s story with BOEC began when he joined as an intern shortly after losing his left arm in a construction accident. He quickly became a mentor and leader, eventually serving as BOEC’s Adaptive Ski & Snowboard Program Director, and helped expand programs to serve participants of all abilities. Beyond BOEC, Willie transformed adversity into achievement, becoming a three-time Paralympian and record-setting ultra-endurance athlete. His story exemplifies the life-changing power of adaptive sports.
