How well Cabin Fever holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 18°, Cabin Fever gets about 97% of the winter sun that flat ground at Steamboat does, December through March. That's sunnier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 74th sunniest named run at Steamboat. Its top sits at 9,700 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.
