How well Abracadabra holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 13°, Abracadabra gets about 79% of the winter sun that flat ground at Wolf Creek does, December through March. That's shadier than 56% of the runs we've measured, and the 55th shadiest named run at Wolf Creek. Its top sits at 11,140 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.
