How well Carbide Cut holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 17°, Carbide Cut gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's shadier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 124th shadiest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 8,400 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.
