Facing northwest at an average 17°, Eflin's Way gets about 67% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crested Butte does, December through March. That's shadier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 32nd shadiest named run at Crested Butte. Its top sits at 11,650 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.
