Facing east at an average 24°, Powerline II gets about 84% of the winter sun that flat ground at Aspen Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 33rd sunniest named run at Aspen Mountain. Its top sits at 11,250 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.
