Magic carpet (disambiguation) - A Magic carpet is a mythological flying rug. Some of the longest Magic Carpets are the 560-foot (170 m) long installation at Stratton Mountain Resort, and the nearly 800-foot (240 m) carpet at Buck Hill in Burnsville, Minnesota, which has an overpass over a ski run. Some Magic Carpets are covered for rider comfort and minimizing snowfall accumulation. During operation, the carpet return device (at the top) must be periodically cleared of accumulated snow and ice. Overnight snow accumulations must be cleared before operation, typically by hand shoveling or sweeping. Their slow speed, limited distance, and capacity confine them to beginner and novice areas.Ĭontrolling the snow to be at proper level for the entrance and exit is a more challenging snow control and grooming operation than a chairlift or rope tow. Since skis and boards are naturally slippery and the belt operates in a snowy and wet environment, friction is limited. Good Luck Glades is the skier's right hand side of Third Bowl after the top pitches bench out above Lower Parachute and Solar Plexus.Magic carpets are limited to shallow grades due to their dependence on friction between the carpet and the bottom of the ski or board.
