Facing north at an average 9°, Upper Chip's Run gets about 63% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbird does, December through March. That's shadier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 52nd shadiest named run at Snowbird. Its top sits at 10,830 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.
