Facing north at an average 11°, Arriba Pitch gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Angel Fire does, December through March. That's shadier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 39th shadiest named run at Angel Fire. Its top sits at 9,870 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.
