How well Magic Forest holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing north at an average 8°, Magic Forest gets about 80% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powderhorn does, December through March. That's shadier than 55% of the runs we've measured, and the 33rd shadiest named run at Powderhorn. Its top sits at 8,360 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.
