How well Swinger holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 9°, Swinger gets about 80% of the winter sun that flat ground at Steamboat does, December through March. That's shadier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the 58th shadiest named run at Steamboat. Its top sits at 7,570 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.
