Facing north at an average 15°, Charity (Red-Green) gets about 64% of the winter sun that flat ground at Alpine Meadows does, December through March. That's shadier than 80% of the runs we've measured, and the 46th shadiest named run at Alpine Meadows. Its top sits at 7,660 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.
