Facing north at an average 14°, 10th Mt. Division Glades gets about 44% of the winter sun that flat ground at Whiteface Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 96% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Whiteface Mountain. Its top sits at 3,110 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.
