Facing west at an average 17°, The Way West gets about 89% of the winter sun that flat ground at Discovery does, December through March. That's sunnier than 58% of the runs we've measured, and the 28th sunniest named run at Discovery. Its top sits at 6,830 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.
