Facing northeast at an average 14°, John Grave's glades gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bretton Woods does, December through March. That's shadier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 21st shadiest named run at Bretton Woods. Its top sits at 2,560 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.
