How well Ampheon holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 18°, Ampheon gets about 82% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 111th shadiest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 6,860 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.
