Facing northeast at an average 20°, Exhibition gets about 52% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stevens Pass does, December through March. That's shadier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th shadiest named run at Stevens Pass. Its top sits at 4,500 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.
