Facing north at an average 10°, Lower Blast-Off gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Sunapee does, December through March. That's shadier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 35th shadiest named run at Mount Sunapee. Its top sits at 2,040 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.
