How well Phantom Bridge holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 22°, Phantom Bridge gets about 50% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's shadier than 93% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th shadiest named run at Winter Park. Its top sits at 10,960 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.
