How well Ski Daddle holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 11°, Ski Daddle gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Steamboat does, December through March. That's shadier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 43rd shadiest named run at Steamboat. Its top sits at 7,690 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
