Facing north at an average 11°, Lower Brewer gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Swain Resort does, December through March. That's shadier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 21st shadiest named run at Swain Resort. Its top sits at 1,490 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.
