Facing northwest at an average 22°, Second Chance gets about 58% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bogus Basin does, December through March. That's shadier than 86% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd shadiest named run at Bogus Basin. Its top sits at 6,210 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.
