Facing northeast at an average 24°, dwarves gets about 79% of the winter sun that flat ground at Breckenridge does, December through March. That's shadier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 59th shadiest named run at Breckenridge. Its top sits at 12,640 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.
