Facing northeast at an average 12°, Tailings gets about 84% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Rose does, December through March. That's sunnier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd sunniest named run at Mt Rose. 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.
