Lesh posted the photos with the caption, \u201csolid park sesh, no lift ticket needed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Keystone spokeswoman Loryn Roberson said the resort is aware of the trespassing that took place over the weekend and is working with law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, all Colorado ski areas are closed under Gov. Jared Polis\u2019 executive order. Summit County ski areas are closed to all activity, including uphill access.
