How well Crystal Cruise holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 4°, Crystal Cruise gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Kelly Canyon does, December through March. That's shadier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 33rd shadiest named run at Kelly Canyon. Its top sits at 6,680 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.
