How well Field of Dreams holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 16°, Field of Dreams gets about 123% of the winter sun that flat ground at Maverick Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th sunniest named run at Maverick Mountain. Its top sits at 7,380 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
