Facing northeast at an average 8°, Lower Oak gets about 82% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pine Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 27th shadiest named run at Pine Mountain. Its top sits at 1,460 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.
