How well Trick Roper holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing west at an average 9°, Trick Roper gets about 85% of the winter sun that flat ground at Steamboat does, December through March. That's sunnier than 53% of the runs we've measured, and the 109th sunniest named run at Steamboat. Its top sits at 7,810 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.
