Facing north at an average 7°, Summit Glades West gets about 81% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pico Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the 46th shadiest named run at Pico Mountain. Its top sits at 2,950 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.
