How well Greenhorn Ranch holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 10°, Greenhorn Ranch gets about 100% of the winter sun that flat ground at Steamboat does, December through March. That's sunnier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 70th sunniest named run at Steamboat. Its top sits at 7,690 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.
