How well to lower go devil holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 6°, to lower go devil gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Keystone does, December through March. That's shadier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 59th shadiest named run at Keystone. Its top sits at 10,130 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.
