Facing northeast at an average 9°, Apishapa gets about 82% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cuchara does, December through March. That's shadier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th shadiest named run at Cuchara. Its top sits at 9,440 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.
