Double black Breckenridge, CO
magic carpet drops 586 vertical feet over 1,420 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 41° about 220 feet below the top. That's steeper than 73% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 19th steepest of 207 named runs at Breckenridge. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 25°, magic carpet gets about 92% of the winter sun that flat ground at Breckenridge does, December through March. That's sunnier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 85th sunniest named run at Breckenridge. Its top sits at 12,030 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
