How well Gray's holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 16°, Gray's gets about 94% of the winter sun that flat ground at Keystone does, December through March. That's sunnier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 50th sunniest named run at Keystone. Its top sits at 12,190 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
