How well Quickie holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 15°, Quickie gets about 79% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snow Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th shadiest named run at Snow Valley. Its top sits at 7,450 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
