How well Phantoms Escape holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 12°, Phantoms Escape gets about 81% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mammoth does, December through March. That's shadier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the 104th shadiest named run at Mammoth. Its top sits at 9,100 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.
