Facing northeast at an average 15°, Wall Top gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Holiday Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 37th shadiest named run at Holiday Valley. Its top sits at 1,950 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.
