How well Carpet Bagger holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 22°, Carpet Bagger gets about 49% of the winter sun that flat ground at 49 Degrees North does, December through March. That's shadier than 94% of the runs we've measured, and the 19th shadiest named run at 49 Degrees North. Its top sits at 5,080 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.
