Facing northwest at an average 11°, War Dance gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Berkshire East does, December through March. That's shadier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 18th shadiest named run at Berkshire East. Its top sits at 1,080 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.
