How well Runaway Carter holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing west at an average 21°, Runaway Carter gets about 86% of the winter sun that flat ground at Eagle Point does, December through March. That's sunnier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the 29th sunniest named run at Eagle Point. Its top sits at 9,840 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.
