Facing northeast at an average 26°, Mid Holiday gets about 53% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sun Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 34th shadiest named run at Sun Valley. Its top sits at 7,800 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.
