Facing northeast at an average 21°, Git Some Glades gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crested Butte does, December through March. That's shadier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 40th shadiest named run at Crested Butte. Its top sits at 9,990 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.
