Facing northeast at an average 12°, Dare Ya gets about 62% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Sunapee does, December through March. That's shadier than 82% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th shadiest named run at Mount Sunapee. Its top sits at 1,880 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.
