Facing northwest at an average 19°, Burnout gets about 82% of the winter sun that flat ground at Northstar does, December through March. That's shadier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 49th shadiest named run at Northstar. Its top sits at 8,610 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.
