Facing northwest at an average 17°, Little Androscoggin Glade gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sugarloaf does, December through March. That's shadier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 69th shadiest named run at Sugarloaf. Its top sits at 3,100 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.
