Facing northwest at an average 15°, Showcase gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stevens Pass does, December through March. That's shadier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 21st shadiest named run at Stevens Pass. Its top sits at 4,920 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.
