Facing northwest at an average 25°, South Bowl Chutes gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Baldy does, December through March. That's shadier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th shadiest named run at Mt Baldy. Its top sits at 8,490 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.
