Quick Draw drops 322 vertical feet over 1,089 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 540 feet below the top. That's steeper than 67% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 124th steepest of 140 named runs at Castle Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 17°, Quick Draw gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Castle Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 37th shadiest named run at Castle Mountain. Its top sits at 5,050 feet.
Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
