How well Two If By Sea holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southwest at an average 22°, Two If By Sea gets about 129% of the winter sun that flat ground at Keystone does, December through March. That's sunnier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the 18th sunniest named run at Keystone. Its top sits at 12,480 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.
