Facing northeast at an average 16°, Yard Sale gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Snow does, December through March. That's shadier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th shadiest named run at Mount Snow. Its top sits at 2,300 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.
