Facing northwest at an average 14°, Hansen Chase gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Sunapee does, December through March. That's shadier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 27th shadiest named run at Mount Sunapee. Its top sits at 1,930 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.
