Scout drops 188 vertical feet over 1,187 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 17° about 810 feet below the top. That's steeper than 68% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 125th steepest of 140 named runs at Keystone. It faces south.

How well Scout holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing south at an average 9°, Scout gets about 120% of the winter sun that flat ground at Keystone does, December through March. That's sunnier than 86% of the runs we've measured, and the 27th sunniest named run at Keystone. Its top sits at 11,630 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
