Facing north at an average 19°, Rainbow's End gets about 59% of the winter sun that flat ground at Red River does, December through March. That's shadier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 19th shadiest named run at Red River. Its top sits at 10,270 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.
