How well Big Carpet West holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 8°, Big Carpet West gets about 80% of the winter sun that flat ground at White Pass does, December through March. That's shadier than 55% of the runs we've measured, and the 38th shadiest named run at White Pass. Its top sits at 4,540 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.
