How well Liberty Trees holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 14°, Liberty Trees gets about 63% of the winter sun that flat ground at Keystone does, December through March. That's shadier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th shadiest named run at Keystone. Its top sits at 11,850 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.
