Facing northwest at an average 17°, Bobby's Freedom Run gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Dodge Ridge does, December through March. That's shadier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd shadiest named run at Dodge Ridge. Its top sits at 7,610 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.
