How well Phone 3 Road holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 13°, Phone 3 Road gets about 61% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbird does, December through March. That's shadier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the 48th shadiest named run at Snowbird. Its top sits at 9,030 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
