Facing northeast at an average 20°, Undergraduate gets about 63% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sun Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 51st shadiest named run at Sun Valley. Its top sits at 7,180 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.
