Facing north at an average 5°, Hay Flat gets about 81% of the winter sun that flat ground at Kirkwood does, December through March. That's shadier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 43rd shadiest named run at Kirkwood. Its top sits at 8,210 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.
