Facing north at an average 7°, The Gap gets about 83% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ski Mystic Deer Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 50% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th shadiest named run at Ski Mystic Deer Mountain. Its top sits at 6,200 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.
