Facing north at an average 23°, Upper Wheelchair gets about 49% of the winter sun that flat ground at Windham Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 93% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd shadiest named run at Windham Mountain. Its top sits at 2,940 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.
