Relay drops 67 vertical feet over 381 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 14° about 230 feet below the top. That's steeper than 48% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 57th steepest of 65 named runs at Mt Rose. It faces north.

How well Relay holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 10°, Relay gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Rose does, December through March. That's shadier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 36th shadiest named run at Mt Rose. Its top sits at 8,560 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.
