How well Snooze bar holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 9°, Snooze bar gets about 118% of the winter sun that flat ground at Steamboat does, December through March. That's sunnier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 28th sunniest named run at Steamboat. Its top sits at 10,360 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.
