Facing northeast at an average 20°, Down Right gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Fernie does, December through March. That's shadier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 55th shadiest named run at Fernie. Its top sits at 6,230 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.
