Facing northeast at an average 12°, Where's Waldo gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Willamette does, December through March. That's shadier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th shadiest named run at Willamette. Its top sits at 6,680 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.
