Facing northwest at an average 18°, Frostbbite gets about 62% of the winter sun that flat ground at Saddleback Maine does, December through March. That's shadier than 82% of the runs we've measured, and the 24th shadiest named run at Saddleback Maine. Its top sits at 3,930 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.
