Facing northeast at an average 15°, West Ridge gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Eldora does, December through March. That's shadier than 59% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th shadiest named run at Eldora. Its top sits at 10,600 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.
