Facing northwest at an average 15°, Lower Show Off gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Diamond Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th shadiest named run at Diamond Peak. Its top sits at 7,130 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.
