How well Field of Dreams holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 13°, Field of Dreams gets about 96% of the winter sun that flat ground at Loveland does, December through March. That's sunnier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 35th sunniest named run at Loveland. Its top sits at 12,850 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
