Facing northeast at an average 24°, Tres Amigos Glades gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stowe does, December through March. That's shadier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 21st shadiest named run at Stowe. Its top sits at 2,900 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.
