How well Little Phil holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 9°, Little Phil gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Terry Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th shadiest named run at Terry Peak. Its top sits at 6,720 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.
