Facing west at an average 33°, Center of Gravity gets about 83% of the winter sun that flat ground at Alta does, December through March. That's shadier than 50% of the runs we've measured, and the 68th shadiest named run at Alta. Its top sits at 10,120 feet.
It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
