Facing northeast at an average 19°, Razorback, Mainstream gets about 57% of the winter sun that flat ground at China Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 87% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th shadiest named run at China Peak. Its top sits at 7,470 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.
