Facing north at an average 18°, Upper Haggett's gets about 52% of the winter sun that flat ground at Shawness Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th shadiest named run at Shawness Peak. Its top sits at 1,740 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.
