Facing northwest at an average 19°, Upper Flying Goose gets about 61% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Sunapee does, December through March. That's shadier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th shadiest named run at Mount Sunapee. Its top sits at 2,240 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.
