Facing north at an average 12°, East Slide gets about 80% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snow Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th shadiest named run at Snow Valley. Its top sits at 7,830 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.
