Facing northeast at an average 15°, Cruiser gets about 64% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sugarbush does, December through March. That's shadier than 80% of the runs we've measured, and the 48th shadiest named run at Sugarbush. Its top sits at 2,940 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.
