Quickdraw drops 471 vertical feet over 2,294 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 1,920 feet below the top. That's steeper than 48% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 106th steepest of 164 named runs at Winter Park. It faces northwest.

How well Quickdraw holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 12°, Quickdraw gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's shadier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 61st shadiest named run at Winter Park. Its top sits at 10,250 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.
