How well The Stadium holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 13°, The Stadium gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Keystone does, December through March. That's shadier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd shadiest named run at Keystone. Its top sits at 11,880 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.
