Facing north at an average 21°, Lower Peacemaker gets about 39% of the winter sun that flat ground at 49 Degrees North does, December through March. That's shadier than 98% of the runs we've measured, and the shadiest named run at 49 Degrees North. Its top sits at 5,440 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.
