Facing north at an average 11°, By George gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crystal Mountain Mi does, December through March. That's shadier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Crystal Mountain Mi. Its top sits at 1,100 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.
