How well Beger holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 14°, Beger gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Keystone does, December through March. That's shadier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 34th shadiest named run at Keystone. Its top sits at 10,070 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.
