Facing northwest at an average 17°, Slalom Glade gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Diamond Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th shadiest named run at Diamond Peak. Its top sits at 7,470 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.
