Facing northeast at an average 16°, Gambler gets about 79% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bear Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 56% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th shadiest named run at Bear Mountain. Its top sits at 7,990 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.
