Facing northeast at an average 23°, Vertigo - Headwall gets about 58% of the winter sun that flat ground at Killington does, December through March. That's shadier than 87% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd shadiest named run at Killington. Its top sits at 3,320 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.
