Facing north at an average 17°, Clean Shaven gets about 51% of the winter sun that flat ground at Waterville Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd shadiest named run at Waterville Valley. Its top sits at 2,860 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.
