How well Kwick Draw holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 16°, Kwick Draw gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 77th shadiest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 8,610 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.
