Facing northeast at an average 9°, Cottonwood gets about 80% of the winter sun that flat ground at Granite Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 55% of the runs we've measured, and the 45th shadiest named run at Granite Peak. Its top sits at 1,500 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.
