Facing northeast at an average 17°, Upper Wiseacres gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Windham Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 26th shadiest named run at Windham Mountain. Its top sits at 2,690 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.
