How well Corridor holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southwest at an average 8°, Corridor gets about 114% of the winter sun that flat ground at Steamboat does, December through March. That's sunnier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the 36th sunniest named run at Steamboat. Its top sits at 10,540 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.
