How well The Corral holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southwest at an average 15°, The Corral gets about 127% of the winter sun that flat ground at Keystone does, December through March. That's sunnier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th sunniest named run at Keystone. Its top sits at 12,000 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.
