Facing northeast at an average 18°, Upper Juliet gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Ashland does, December through March. That's shadier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 30th shadiest named run at Mt Ashland. Its top sits at 6,980 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.
