How well Magic Carpet holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 10°, Magic Carpet gets about 84% of the winter sun that flat ground at Buttermilk does, December through March. That's sunnier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 13th sunniest named run at Buttermilk. Its top sits at 8,550 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
