How well Ballhooter holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 12°, Ballhooter gets about 84% of the winter sun that flat ground at Keystone does, December through March. That's sunnier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 62nd sunniest named run at Keystone. Its top sits at 10,180 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
