How well Outlaw holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 9°, Outlaw gets about 95% of the winter sun that flat ground at Steamboat does, December through March. That's sunnier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 80th sunniest named run at Steamboat. Its top sits at 8,770 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.
