Facing north at an average 14°, Panion's Run gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crested Butte does, December through March. That's shadier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 42nd shadiest named run at Crested Butte. Its top sits at 10,150 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.
