Facing north at an average 14°, Beck Brook Glades gets about 59% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Sunapee does, December through March. That's shadier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Mount Sunapee. Its top sits at 2,070 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.
