HooDoo drops 324 vertical feet over 1,602 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 1,080 feet below the top. That's steeper than 45% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 107th steepest of 140 named runs at Keystone. It faces north.

How well HooDoo holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 12°, HooDoo gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Keystone does, December through March. That's shadier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 51st shadiest named run at Keystone. Its top sits at 10,570 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.
