Facing north at an average 18°, PDF gets about 46% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Snow does, December through March. That's shadier than 95% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd shadiest named run at Mount Snow. 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.
