How well Phantom holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 10°, Phantom gets about 87% of the winter sun that flat ground at Great Divide does, December through March. That's sunnier than 56% of the runs we've measured, and the 43rd sunniest named run at Great Divide. Its top sits at 6,110 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.
