How well Gravy holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 12°, Gravy gets about 84% of the winter sun that flat ground at Steamboat does, December through March. That's sunnier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 119th sunniest named run at Steamboat. Its top sits at 10,320 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
