Facing northwest at an average 12°, Lower Shay's Revenge gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowshoe Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th shadiest named run at Snowshoe Mountain. Its top sits at 4,080 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.
