Facing east at an average 15°, Grandote gets about 88% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cuchara does, December through March. That's sunnier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 13th sunniest named run at Cuchara. Its top sits at 10,700 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.
