Facing northeast at an average 13°, Waterfall gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mad River Glen does, December through March. That's shadier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th shadiest named run at Mad River Glen. Its top sits at 1,790 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.
