How well Duster holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 2°, Duster gets about 109% of the winter sun that flat ground at Steamboat does, December through March. That's sunnier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 47th sunniest named run at Steamboat. Its top sits at 9,330 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.
