How well Fawn holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southwest at an average 11°, Fawn gets about 118% of the winter sun that flat ground at Steamboat does, December through March. That's sunnier than 86% of the runs we've measured, and the 26th sunniest named run at Steamboat. Its top sits at 9,470 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.
